He married Joan Beth Etienne from Highland Park, MI on June 17,1950 in Fairbanks, Alaska, while serving in the Air Force at Eielson Field. Herb returned to the community he loved after his honorable discharge. He spent 30 years working for General Motors in Flint. Eventually, he purchased a small farm near the family homestead.

He was a member of the Juddville United Methodist Church where he served as a trustee supporting numerous volunteer projects.

He was also a member of New Lothrop Order of Eastern Star, Chapter #312, serving as Worthy Patron with his mother, Bertha Judd, and again in 1981-82 with his wife, Joan. Herb was an avid outdoorsman. His father-in-law owned a hunting cabin in Kalkaska, MI, where Herb spent many hours fishing in Pierson Creek and the North Branch of the Manistee River. He looked forward to annual hunting trips to stalk grouse, pheasant and deer until Macular Degeneration took his eyesight. He was a member of the Shiawassee Conservation Association, where he enjoyed socializing and participating in their Euchre tournaments. Herb loved the challenge of farming and making things grow. He was proud of his successful gardens and prize-winning vegetables in the Shiawassee County Fair. He was involved in 4-H Clubs and was a leader for many years. Herb participated in a men's softball league and he and his wife, Joan, spent many years square dancing together. After retirement they became snowbirds spending much of the winter in Okeechobee, FL, enjoying the warm weather, fishing, and good times with their friends.
