ReplyDeleteTo the Vaughn Family, Was saddened to read about Herb's passing. Another Dresser-Rand brother has left us. He was one of the good guys, always with a smile on his face and willing to help anyone that had a problem. May the good Lord bring peace and comfort to all as you mourn. Rest in peace my friend, you have earned it. Everett Harrington
