Herbert "Herb" H. Dooley, loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, passed away Tuesday, July 2, 2018 at Huron Regional Medical Center. A private family burial with military honors by the Huron Veteran's Council will be at the Restlawn Memory Gardens Cemetery on Thursday, July 5th.

Herb was born December 4, 1932, to Dewey and Elizabeth (Scheele) Dooley of Carpenter, S.D. He enlisted and served in the United States Army from 1951-54 including one tour in Korea.  He was united in marriage January 4, 1952 to Vivadel Beck in Huron SD.  A man of strong faith, he was very proud of his time spent ministering to the inmates at Telford Unit, a maximum-security state prison in New Boston, Texas as well as serving as a Troubled Youth Specialist in Wyoming.

Although he had multiple occupations throughout his working years, he was most passionate about raising sheep. He joyfully resumed this vocation in his 70s until his health prevented him from continuing.

He was preceded in death by his parents Dewey and Elizabeth, one sister Delores Spanbauer, four brothers Freeman, LaVern, Kenneth, and Dale.

He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Vi; two sisters, Shirley Schied, Huron; Marie Barnes, Tempe AZ; three sons; Jerry (Penny) Dooley, Huron, SD; Vern (Kay) Dooley, Powell WY; Scott (Deb) Dooley, Boulder CO; one daughter, Patricia (Duke) Westerberg, Philip SD; nine grandchildren and four great grandchildren.
