He was a great guy. We were in the same Printing class, where I enjoyed getting to know him. When it came time to design a business card, I got my idea from him. He suggested making a card for "Herbie's rent a casket" business! His idea was that, after the funeral, the casket rental company would roll the deceased out of the casket and into the grave, retaining the casket for the next customer! I enjoyed his macabre sense of humor!
He will be missed be all who knew him.
