Devoted husband and best friend of June (Vachon) Hebert, for 58 years. A former Navy reservist and insurance industry executive, he was an innovator with technology in the data processing field. In his retirement he served others as a SHINE counselor for ten years at the Waltham Senior Center, and volunteered at Voice of the Faithful, Newton-Wellesley Hospital, and was a member of the St. Vincent de Paul Society of St. Joseph’s Church.
