Herbert J. Sommerfeld of Corpus Christi, Texas passed away on Sunday, January 23, 2022. Herbert was born April 14, 1940 in Berlin, Germany.
Herbert grew up in Germany and eventually immigrated with his family to North Padre Island, Texas. He came for the sunshine, warm weather and to start his general contracting company, HJS Construction.
Herbert will be remembered for his contagious smile, witty sense of humor, “Herbertisms”, making bread and cooking, his loving heart and amazing stories. He also loved to travel all over the world mostly via his RV, The Queen Mary, his second love. He left a lasting impression on everyone he met.
