Also surviving Herbie were his loving sister, Violet Sturdevant and her children, sisters and brothers-in-law, Ina and Julian Nunnally, Peggy and Jack Honeycutt, and Jo Ann Bernard and their families. Herb was devoted to the Lord. Some of his most gratifying moments were in his praise of the Lord in his church, the Alamo City Christian Fellowship, and through his participation with the Promise Keepers. Earlier in his life Herb served the Methodist church by sponsoring the Methodist Youth Fellowship, chairing the Intermediate department and acting as Sunday School administrator. Herb always had a heart to serve. He was a devoted father, little league coach, mentor and guide. Throughout his life he enjoyed fishing, square dancing, and woodworking. He used his woodworking to fashion crosses, angels, nativities and other things as part of his contribution to serving the Lord. Herb graduated from Harlandale High School and attended St. Mary’s University. He served as a radioman in WWII and worked in electronics after the war with the civil service at Randolph and Kelly Air Force Bases. He ended his formal work career at Pearl Canning Company after which he and his wife retired and set off to travel the country in their motorhome. He loved to sit and chat; to tell stories; it was one of his most favorite things. He had a great sense of humor. He will leave all of us with his memory and his love and will be very sorely missed.
If you wish, memorials may be forwarded in Herb’s name to the Alamo City Christian Fellowship. Many blessings and thanks to all of the doctors, nurses, friends and family who supported Herb during his long illness. God bless you.
