A quick update: although the pinned thread on EMB has been giving everyone hope, the latest news last night was that hospice has been called in....  :(

I hope that through his battle, he has been able to find happiness. I don't know what its like, how it feels or what it feels like to know someone who has battled through it...in this form. I hope he sends the cancer into remission and into high hell. I also hope that he has been able to find peace and harmony within his soul. I hope that in his final days he can find joy and satisfaction that he lived a special life, had people that loved him and was a proud member of the exclusive asylum called Eagles fans. I think one of the reasons that the Eagles are loved so much is because they are a perfect example of what life is. High highs and low lows...and everything in between. I know that when all of our times come, I know that we all will be able to take that to our graves .

Herb, I don't know you...but whatever strength you have, keep on fighting. This is life and sometimes you have to punch it straight back in the jaw. The impossible is possible. There is positive energy being channeled to you and your family now. Good luck herb.                                     E-A-G-L-E-S.....EAGLES!

One of the truly nicest guys I've ever met.

Tragic.  Just unbelievably tragic.

I was sad for him when the Eagles didn't win the Super Bowl last year... amazing that he hung in there for another year... c'mon Herb, stay with us until the Birds get the job done next year... hang in there.

I refuse to believe that Herb's gonna let this thing get the best of him.  He'll bounce back.  I know it.

A damn shame. Herb is a great guy and has a wonderful family.

I've never met Herb, nor have I frequented the EMB to "meet" him online.  Yet, I get a feel from what people here say about him.  He sounds like one of the "good guys," and it is sad to see one of those and his family suffer like this.

God bless you, Herb, and your family as well.

May your remaining time, whether it be days or years, be filled with grace, joy and love.

I've got to know Herb and Jess pretty well throughout the years. They are both great people, guys. Truly great people and its such a shame this is happening to such a great man. Romey said it best - its unbelievably tragic and I wish there was something we could do. The pinned thread is still up, so if you guys want to give him some kind words, I'm sure it would make him smile.

We love you Herbie.

Sad to see someone go that way..... Never met Herb though. All I hope is that if his time comes, he will be at peace with himself and that hbis loved ones are with him... That he has no regrets.

Herb, I hope you still have the energy to beat this thing and recover. Hang in there untill the Birds finally win the Super Bowl....

A thread on the EMBs just been pinned regarding Herb, the news is not good  :'( If you have any last words for him I highly encourage you to post them. A phone number was left if you'd like to contact him late morning or early evening: 334-673-9527

I will never forget his laughter when Die-Hard and I called him from last year's Super Bowl.

God, he was so happy to see his beloved Birds finally make the big game.

One of the very, very few people I've ever met in this life that I can truly say I admire.  In actuality, I'm humbled in the fact that I've known him.  For those of you who haven't, trust me, his imminent passing is beyond heartbreaking.  Well, at least his years-long suffering is finally coming to an end.

God bless, Bigfoot.

I don't know him, but he sounds very nice, and it sounds very sad.

Everyone seems to be talking like the doctor only gave him a few days. Is that the case?

If so I'm sorry.
Calling it right on the $ since day one.
