Charles Vosler wrote a sympathy message

“My wife, Sonnie Vosler and I share great sadness in learning of Herb's passing. I had the pleasure of coaching Herb at Defiance College. Herb was with a group of young men that led Defiance College to an undefeated football season in 1966 setting many records. Herb was also a giant to our young son and was his baby sitter many evenings. I pray to God that he allowed me to be a part of Herb's life. I pray to God that he accepts Herb to allow him to look over all of us and to give him peace.”
