Herbie was born in Fall River and was raised in Millbury, where he graduated from Millbury Memorial High School.

His family would like to thank the incredible team at the Mt. Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, especially his nurses, Christine and Aubrey, for the care, compassion and comfort they gave to Herbie during this difficult time.
