On Wednesday, July 27th, 2022, our parents lost their lives in a tragic explosion and fire at their home on 21st Avenue North in Hopkins, Minnesota. Herb was 85 years old, and Sharon was 83. Herb grew up in Hopkins, on 20th Ave N, and built the home on 21st Ave in 1962. Herb and Sharon were happily married for 64 years and raised five children in their home.

The neighbors and community have been so wonderful, bringing by food and water for us as we've been sifting through the debris to try to salvage anything we can. Some have left flowers, and some have asked if they could donate to help out. We would greatly appreciate any donations to help us out with funeral expenses.
