I met Herb for the first time in April 2009 at Skydive Hawaii through Benj. He's a professional skydiver, the sky is his office and he took me there on my second dive (see earlier Skydive Hawaii post). I wanted to give him a tip for a great time diving and he said, he don't take tips from friends. And I just met him! Isn't he sweet?! Herb and I kept in touch through Facebook and I even tried to hook him up with one of my friends! Herb has been mentioning he wanted to find the right girl and settle down. I didn't think he would have a hard time finding her.
Herb passed away on July 15th doing what he loved doing -- skydive. He was well-loved and remembered for having the biggest heart, the craziest stories and the heartiest laugh. He has touched a lot of lives and will continue to live on in the memories of his loved ones and the recipients of his organs. Right up until the end, Herb was sharing himself.
Free fall, fall free into eternity Herb....
