St. George, Utah
- In Herb's words he led a "charmed life" as he walked this road for 80 years. He passed away November 23, 2018. His journey began on March 2, 1938 in Lucinda, a small rural community in western Pennsylvania where he learned the meaning of love friendship and family. The pathway continued with a focus on education achieving a Bachelor of Science from the University of Dayton and a Masters and PhD from The Ohio State University in Chemical Engineering. Herb's career spanned decades and his expertise as a Fuels Engineer is well documented. The memories of those days, challenges, opportunities and colleagues he met along the way were shared in great detail with others. He was an avid sports fan, especially, college football and professional baseball. Much of his leisure time was devoted to reading, journaling and listening to his vast music collection. Anything he enjoyed was pursued with great enthusiasm.
Herb had a rich, full life that he shared with his wife, Jillene and a blended family of six children: Elizabeth (Charles) Califf, Catherine (Mark) Hume, Laura (Richard) Morgan, Tina (Glen) Stubbs, Tonya Stransky, Brian (Betheny) Parkin; 20 grandchildren; and 2 great-grandchildren.
