One of his passions was his lawn. He liked when people complimented him on it. His hard work had paid off, and that is how we lost him, having had a massive heart attack while mowing his lawn.

May he rest in peace, in the green pastures of heaven. He will be missed by many, but never forgotten.

The Herbert Funeral Home of Manistee is in charge of funeral arrangements.
