Herb was born August 31, 1930 in Chicago, Illinois to Edwin
and Josephine Jones.
Following his High-School graduation from St. Patrick�s in
Chicago, Illinois Herb was drafted into the United States
Army. While proudly serving during the Korean War, Herb was
stationed in Germany where he was awarded the Occupation
Medal of Germany and the National Defense Service Medal.
Herb was honorably discharged in October of 1953 as a
Corporal.
Herb returned home to Chicago where he found the love of his
life whom he married on April 14.1956. Together the Lord
blessed them with three sons, 10 grandchildren and one great
grandchild.
After retiring from Reliable Electric of Franklin Park
Illinois after 30 years, Herb and Claudia moved to Wisconsin
where he enjoyed spending time with his family. Herbs
hobbies included fishing, woodworking, bird watching,
photography and wooden model ship building. Herb enjoyed
walks in the woods no matter what the season. He often
talked about a late night, early morning winter walk through
the woods with his grown children and their wives, walking
along through the cold crisp night sipping peppermint
schnapps as they walked. This was his fondest memory. Herb
also enjoyed quiet time sitting in his screen house quietly
reading a book with his loyal little beagle, Toby by his
side enjoying the warmth of the Summer days and the quiet of
the cool Summer nights together.
Herb first and foremost enjoyed the company of his family
and most of all he was a devoted and loving husband, father
and grandfather.
