We are sad to announce that on April 18, 2024 we had to say goodbye to Rudolph Ferdinan Herbst of Guilford, Connecticut, born in Derby, Connecticut. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

As we bid Rudolph farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Rudolph is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

He was predeceased by : his parents, Rudolph Herbst and Elfrieda Herbst Freeman (Buchholtz); and his sister Gertrude Arnot. He is survived by : his wife Elizabeth Herbst (Cronogue); his daughters, Deborah Herbst (Eric Watsky) and Patricia Pallman (Scott); and his granddaughter Elizabeth Pallman.

Visitation was held on Friday, April 19th 2024 at 4:15 PM at the Riverview Funeral Home (390 River Rd, Shelton, CT 06484).

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions may be made to Wounded Warrior Project, P.O. Box 758516, Topeka, Kansas 66675-8516 or http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org.
