He was raised and educated in Oliver County and was proud to have earned his GED from South Central High School at age 56. He was baptized and confirmed in the German Congregational Church; though not a "church going" man, Herb was a man of deep faith. On July 6, 1969, he married Lynette (Heid) in Flasher, where they made their home for nine months and then moved to Mandan. Herb worked a wide variety of jobs including farming, mechanics, and driving truck, school bus, and taxi cab. In his younger years, he enjoyed camping and fishing with his family and hunting geese, ducks, and deer. Indoor favorite past-times included spending time with family and friends, spoiling the grandpuppies, reading (especially his Bible), doing jigsaw puzzles and find-a-words, and watching movies. He is survived by his wife, Lynette, Mandan; two daughters, Michelle (Myron) Rosemore, Adams, Tennessee, Melanie Lennick, LaVergne, Tennessee; one son, Mitchell (Amber) Lennick, Bismarck; three sisters, Eleanor Opp, Hebron, Millie (John) Holzer, and Kathy Ustanko, all of Bismarck; one brother, Melvin (Les) Lennick, Center, three grandchildren, Sydney and Jordan Rosemore and Seth Lennick, two nieces and four nephews. Herb was preceded in death by his parents, a niece, a nephew, and a brother-in-law. In lieu of flowers, the family prefers donations to your favorite charity. ".Yes, there will be good times and yes some will be bad, but.. Zion waits in glory.. where none are ever sad."
