He came to the Dayton area in January of 1961, as a Journeyman Typesetter with Dayton Daily News. He went on to manage an independent typesetting firm as the Lead Typesetter for several publications including western fiction and non-fiction. During that same time, Herb and Della may be remembered for owning and managing Herdel's, a popular bakery & donut shop in the New Carlisle area. Herb later became Head Custodian for Tecumseh Local Schools until he retired in 1995. After retirement, he worked as a volunteer at Wright-Patterson AFB for almost 20 years.

Herbert never knew a stranger and loved everyone. He loved his family more than anything. Herb was a Christian man and was the best example of high moral values and a perfect role model for his family. He coached Little League for several years. He and Della taught Sunday School at Park Layne United Methodist church for several years, as well.

Herb made an impact on many lives and believed he and his family were blessed in so many ways, citing many times "They were the circle of love." Family was his most important hobby, and he loved creating memories with them. To celebrate his love for Della, he joyfully bought two yellow roses for her on every anniversary for 64 years.
