Herb and I worked together in the 70's for several seaplane operations in Long Beach, CA. I remember most conversations always started with "I will tell you what" and that comment was always followed by a great plan or answer. He was well respected by all the crew and we especially loved his pranks. He did have a great sense of humor, no doubt about that. He will be greatly missed!
