Herbert was known for his love of people and his creator Jehovah. At the same time, he was adventurous and explored the world. He not only called Germany home, but he had a fondness for each of the places where he had lived: New Zealand, France, Switzerland, Poland, Australia, Greece or Belgium. He was a devoted husband to his dear wife Hilde with whom he shared 62 years of his life. He worked hard to give his sons Hans-Jürgen, Dietmar and Dirk a solid foundation for their lives. He embraced his daughters-in-law Arlette, Susanne and Maria as if they were his own. His delight in his grandchildren Garance, Jordan, Stephanie and Jared was seen by all. The foundation of his life became his love, devotion and worship of our creator Jehovah. He fully lived his faith, and tried to reflect his creator’s love in helping many to come to know Jehovah, and to grow in their service to him also. While he will be greatly missed, we relish the opportunity to see him again just as Jehovah has promised (Daniel 12:13).
