Grandpa Herb farmed in Monona County for most of his life and continued living on the family farm after his retirement. He enjoyed gardening and sharing the produce and flowers with family and friends. For more than 30 years, he spent the summertime fishing on Lake Minnewashta in Okoboji. He enjoyed sitting on the dock from morning until night, hoping to catch the "Big One." Grandchildren were always welcome to tag along and share whatever activities he was involved in at the time. Grandpa delighted in hearing about his grandchildren's lives and watching his great grandchildren grow. He loved their smiles and giving him "high five" whenever they passed by his chair.
