Our sincere sympathy goes to Sue, Martyn and their families at this sad time.
Although some of us here in Herbert’s UK family did not know him well and only met him briefly, the loss is felt deeply, not more so than by his younger brother Ken and sister Helena.
A big brother who they looked up to and admired from afar, who will be missed and was never far from their thoughts.
Our thoughts are with you all.
Love from all the family in the UK
