Herb’s father died when he was in middle school, Herb left school and began running the family farm. Farming was his passion, he raised small grains, had beef cattle, and milked cows.

In 1992, Herb and Carol moved into Donnelly, however, Herb never officially retired from farming. If he was not traveling the countryside checking crops, he was talking about farming.
