Born and raised in Hammonton to the late James Elmer and Ethel Lillian (Murphy) Myers, Herb attended Hammonton Public Schools. He shared over 66 years of marriage with his wife June having married her in 1951.
A Korean war veteran, Herb was a state employee for the Division of Weights and Measures and enjoyed ensuring the public was receiving fair treatment. He was fond of boating and flying and enjoyed taking his children and grandchildren on these adventures. He took pleasure in engaging with the latest gadgets and technology and was often the first of his group to do so. He fancied himself a comedian and was always quick with a “dad joke” to make you groan. His final few years his family was robbed of his company but fond memories fill their hearts.
