In his spare time, Herb enjoyed his home, Fox Meadows Farm, where he took care of his beloved cat Smoke, his donkeys, his family’s show horses and his beloved Percheron draft horses. Herb enjoyed spending countless hours on his lawn mower and his tractors, keeping the farm beautiful for everyone to see and making sure that it was just right for the farm’s annual horse shows.

When left unattended, stone walls were known to pop up randomly.
