Herb was born in Decker, Indiana, Aug. 30, 1921, to Lloyd Frank Lane and Jessie Helena Graham Lane. He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Bobby Doyle Lane, Ellis Frank Lane; and his loving wife of 27 years, Velda Elaine Scull Lane. He is survived by his daughter Sharon (Bob) Davis; son Greg (Gail) Lane; grandchildren Deana (John) Winn, Elaine (Todd) White, Randy (Tiffany) Lane, Carrie (Kevin) Bell, Jason (Tatum) Logan, Heather (Matt) Monahan; and 19 great-grandchildren. Herb is also survived by two brothers, Hershel Ralph Lane and Ival Lloyd Lane; three sisters, Phoebe (Mickey) Croslow, Nelda (Preach) Frederick and Beulah "Boots" (Norman) Walker, all of Indiana; as well as a whole congregation of nieces, nephews and loved ones. Herb was a member of the 1938-39 Decker High School Basketball team that won the Wasbash Valley Championship ¬ quite a feat for such a small school. After graduation he worked for Farrell Milling until he entered the U.S. Army in 1942 and served with Company A, 14th Armored Infantry Battalion, in North Africa and Italy. Upon his return from the war he met and married Velda Elaine Scull on July 25, 1947, in Vincennes, Indiana. The family moved to Phoenix, Arizona, in 1954 where Herb worked in appliance sales and as a buyer for Bower Stationery (Stationers Corp.) until his retirement in 1988. Herb was very proud of his family. He was always eager to tell his friends and co-workers about his children and grandchildren and all of our accomplishments whether academic, athletic, dramatic, musical or just plain comical. His greatest passion was the study and teaching of God's Word. He taught adult Sunday school classes and served as Sunday School Superintendent at Westdale Nazarene Church and Phoenix First Wesleyan Church. He also loved to sing and served as a worship song leader at various times throughout his life. Herb touched the lives of many people and was much loved. We will miss him greatly. Matthew 25:21 "Well done thou good and faithful servants" A memorial service was at the VA Chapel on the grounds of the VA Medical Center, Highway 89, Prescott, Arizona.
