In Loving Memory of a Wonderful Family
On September 24, 1995, Adam and Seth Herzog were aboard a small plane with their father, Joel, returning from watching the Davis Cup tennis tournament in Las Vegas when it crashed in bad weather near Westcliffe, CO. Although it has
been 19 years since the plane crash, it is still hard to believe that these precious individuals are not playing tennis and laughing somewhere in Colorado Springs.
Adam's friends remember him for his deep compassion for others and his desire to enjoy life. He was a truly gifted athlete who excelled in hockey, tennis and track. Like his father, Adam was a true friend with a huge heart.
Seth had an infectious laugh and a big tooth smile. He was quick to give hugs and was a sensitive, thoughtful boy whose eyes brought people into his caring and warm world. The boys were good friends who truly loved each other.
Joel is remembered as an avid tennis player, a great joke teller and a true friend to all he met. He set the standard for excellence when it came to being a husband and father. He truly made a difference in the lives of those he knew by living life to its fullest.
"There's this place in me where your fingerprints still rest, your kisses still linger, and your whispers softly echo.
It's the place where a part of you will forever be part of me."
(Author: Gretchen Kemp)

Having lost my wife to cancer I won't patronize you with a "Nancy, you're SO brave!" All I can add is that your love for Joel, Adam and Seth showed many of us that we can find warm memories to bridge those awful lonely days. Your loss tore a big piece out of our heart...hoping you know that your community cares for you.
