It is with heavy hearts we share the passing of Herb, on October 31, 2026 at the age of 80. Beloved husband of 48 years to Mary, loving father to Kelly (Brently) and Kristi, funny Grampsy Gramps to Emily and Wesley, older brother to Mike (Gina), and warmly remembered by his extended family and friends.

Herb was a Class “A” Professional of the PGA of Canada for 56 years. He felt he played golf in the best of times and spoke fondly of three golf courses that shaped his career and left a lasting impression on his life: Scarboro Golf & Country Club, Thunderbird Golf Club (now Royal Ashburn Golf Club) and Weston Golf & Country Club, which is where he devoted 28 years of his career serving the membership. With his quick wit, dry humour and encouraging words, Herb shared his love of the game with everyone around him.

Beyond the golf course, Herb cherished time he spent with family and friends. Whether trading jokes with his two beloved grandchildren, sharing a laugh over a story from years past or simply enjoying a quiet moment in the yard watching the animals, he found joy in the company of those he loved.

We are comforted knowing that he is now where the sky is always clear, the fairways are always green and the putts are always made. May he be forever remembered with a smile and a favourite “Herb” story.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday November 7, 2026 from

10:00 AM-1:00 PM at Weston Golf and Country Club - Toronto, ON.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Herb’s memory to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Online condolences may be shared through Tranquility Cremation Services.
