Herbert Schwenker

Herbert (Herbie) L. Schwenker, age 83, formerly of New Albin, died Wednesday, May 16, 2007.

Herbie was born May 16, 1924 in Burlington and married Ella Mae Luth of Harpers Ferry in l947. They had four daughters, with the youngest, Stacy Lynn graduating from Kee High School in Lansing.

Herbie managed Country Clubs for many years until he landed in New Albin and purchased the 'High Chaparral'. He found many lifelong friends there and had hoped to return to see them one more time. He missed them all very much. He loved to fish and hunt and then cook up a storm.

He served in WWII, was a member of the Masonic Lodge and VFW. He asked to be cremated and float his ashes down the mighty Mississippi. He loved the song, 'The Green Green Grass of Home'. When you hear it, think of him.
