  5. I worked with Herb for many years while he was working in the construction industry in Clearwater, FL. Have so many great memories of him while he was our safety/warranty manager. Was truly one of a kind and always had positive things to say about the people he worked with. His jokes were off the charts and was a trip to be around. I can definitely say that there was never a dull moment with Herbie! From everyone at Creative Contractors please pass on our condolences to his immediate family and friends. Know he is missed by many! Steve Hill and all of his coworkers at Creative Contractors
