On friday we lost one of the good ones. Herb was an ambassador to our sport across this continent as well as a World Champion and a magnificent boat builder. He loved to be out on the water. Those of us who were lucky enough to have known him know he will be dearly missed and remembered forever. Services for Herb will be in Peace River on Saturday April 16 at 11 am at the our lady of peace church with lunch and a celebration of his life to follow at the Belle Marketing Center on river road. For those who cannot attend but would like to share a memory you can email it to joansetz@hotmail.com and it will be read for you there. Heres to the Captain of the Setz Racing Team may you rest in peace.

Herb was a pioneer in the sport thats for sure, I consider myself very fortunate to have been able to spend some time with him over the years as he was one of us. He loved being out on those rivers and right up untill the rivers froze for the season he was out there enjoying life. Were gonna miss you Herb ! Rest in Peace my friend !

Herb has been a mentor to me for as long as I can remember, Herb Put me in my first race boat in the 80's when we raced in Lewiston. During that race we hit a pressure wave that launched us so far in the air that I really thought I had died it seemed like a long time, when we hit I felt every part of my spine crack. When we finished that leg Herb turned to me a said "Bamping" you getting back in? And thats how it started for me.
Over the years he inspired me in many different discussions, he knew my grandfather and shared a few stories about him from a different prespective that I had not heard. In all the years he knew me he never once called me by my first name, even when I visted him in the hospital resently he said "Bamping" when are you going to see our friends in Lewiston. Herb I will miss you and I will miss your furneral -but I will be doing what you would would be doing, - I write this drinking a drink with Rick Gage in Lewiston, and a here is a toast to you my friend. We are headed to riggins tommorrow.
