He supported his way through college, graduating with a Bachelors of Science from the University of Utah. Herb married Marjorie May Lundquist on April, 19, 1940, in the Salt Lake Temple. After 62 years, they were separated for five months after her passing in June, 2002. Herb's varied interests and skills included gardening, ham radio, woodworking, home remodeling, and computers. Many people were the recipients of his handmade clocks and bowls, or fresh produce from his bounteous garden. He was blessed with one son and four granddaughters to whom he was a beacon of kindness and generosity. After his retirement from Hill Field he spent over twenty years on a sealing team in the Ogden LDS Temple. His sweetness of spirit will always be remembered with fondness by those who knew and loved him.
