Herb was our neighbour for many years in Davie Street. We had some great yarns over the fence of old war stories & interesting topics with his love of general knowledge, swapping veggies & fruit etc. My youngest son Sam whose now living overseas named him `the "Legend“. To Russell, Lyn & family, You made a massive difference in Herbs life with your unselfishness & wonderful caring nature. Bless you all and Herb will fondly live in in our hearts. Love from the Kerridge Clan x
