My husband, Scott, was at Oceanside Nursing Home for 2 months. Herb was across the hall from him & I visited my husband everyday, also seeing Herb. Both Scott & I send our condolences to Herb's family. I guess I never realized he was so ill as he always had a wonderful & inviting smile with never a word of complaint. Periodically I would bring back ice cream, shakes, sodas & desserts to both guys & Herb promised I would not get in trouble giving him these things. He was always charming and it was difficult to wave goodbye when Scott left the nursing home. I'm sure he left a treasury of memories to the English family.
