Meet Herb - we always say he is always behind bars searching for a key.

Before we start blogging our heart, we thought you might like to meet all the boys first. So today meet Herb! (and don't forget to check out the video of him below, but SHHH don't tell hime we posted it! )

Herb and his wife Alene have lived in the Stouffville/Markham area all their lives. They have two daughters and four grand children. Herb is recently semi retired and they presently operate Welcome Homecare Services, an in home care service for seniors.

Herb will always be in awe of Gods plan of salvation. Born and raised in a a Mennonite home, he was in church whenever the doors were open. However, at the age of 17 decided that was not for him and for the next 10 years traveled in life’s “left “ lane at a rather high rate of speed! One Sunday morning (when he was usually golfing) he got saved at an old fashioned alter in a little church in Altona just east of Stouffville. Nothing has been the same since.

God’s greatest gift of His Son is at the top of Herb’s list of things to be grateful for. Close family ties are a priority and much time is spent keeping in close contact with his grand kids who he says keep him young.

Herb has been known to keep many golf course attendants busy replacing divots. He has also been known to fly the odd aircraft although not as much as he would like. At one time he was an instructor and did spend time flying for a living for a few years. Spends his winters at the hockey rink watching the grand sons play hockey

His favorite verse is Psalm 46:10…Be still and know that I am God….(for someone who finds standing still a problem that verse is a real challenge.)

Singing with “the boys” is the realization of a dream he has had for many years. The rewards are endless and he is in constant amazement that God has let him be part of a ministry that lets him stay close to home and still fulfill his desire to serve through singing.

To any one who would like to sing in a group he gives this advise…..don’t make any plans…..let God do that….just be available to His leading and know that where ever He leads is where you need to follow.
