Herbie retired from Tyco Electronics in 2010. A lifetime member of the Wilson Volunteer Fire Company in Lyndhurst, he treasured the time he spent with his fellow firefighters until his disability prevented him from continuing. Aside from his family, serving in the fire department was one of his greatest joys.

The family extends its heartfelt thanks to Hospice of the Shenandoah for the exceptional care provided during Herbie’s final days and to Augusta Health Home Health Care for its care and compassion over the years. Petya, Melondy, Suzanne, Theresa, and Ashley each went above and beyond in caring for Herbie.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Wilson Volunteer Fire Company or Hospice of the Shenandoah.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Wilson Volunteer Fire Company on Sunday, October 25, 2026 at 2:00 p.m.
