Dear Emily and Mary,
So sorry for your loss. As you are aware, your Dad and Mom were a great influence in my life for a very long time. I have carried their lessons all of my life and thought of each of them so many times as I practiced what they taught. You both also taught me some things as well.
Know you are both in my thoughts and prayers always.
Love,
Jack

To the Herbst family my deepest sympathy. I have many fond memories of the Zell''s Men''s Shop. I would kid him that his help in picking out clothes made my practice a success. My contacts after he retired were always a delight. Again my deepest sympathy to all of you. Daniel L. Dombroski,MD

Emily and Mary -
Will miss your Dad''s quick wit and talking/joking about old times in Syracuse at the dinner table at the nursing home.
His good stories and jokes will continue to make us smile years from now.
Andy and I wish to express our heartfelt sympathies to you both - what a great man who had two very wonderful, loyal and loving daughters.
God Bless you both as God keeps you in his care.
