There were 8 of us. Memories are flooding back of a great time and a great man. So kind to my parents. I will never forget him. Rest In Peace Mr. Herbie.
He was a great man. He was always kind and generous to us “kids” from the neighborhood. He was a great example of a moral man. He will be missed.

So sorry for the loss of your dear sweet Daddy! Mr. Herbie was just the sweetest man, and I lived going to the old store on Highway 3, and the other store on Main Street. Bought a lot of snacks and drinks both going to and coming from high school. Rest in peace!
Herbie left a great legacy of a large and loving family.
The man was a legend and a pillar of the community. Sincere and heartfelt condolences to the family. My prayers of comfort, strength, and peace in this time of grief.
He was a good man for League. City. Texas
Herbie was a wonderful man & he will be greatly missed!
Papa you are missed already! I know you know that you were a full-filled joy in my life. The stories we shared and the memories we told each other and the laughter we shared will never be forgotten! Thank you, for helping me become an investor to!
One thing I have learned from Papa was not to complain and go with the flow.
Thanks to His wonderful children whom treated me like family when I was giving care to their precious father! The Muehr Family is full of love! Love you Papa!!!

Mr. Herbie and Rosales were such wonderful people and a huge part of our childhood. He was a gentle and kind man and even our beloved mentor as was his wife. Herbie’s was a respite from our childhood pain and was a safe haven to forget and find joy. Thank you for sharing him with us. Prayers for comfort and peace for all of you. God Bless you all!
Will miss Mr. Herbie, what a wonderful man. Gave everbody a break.
The Blume family expresses their sympathy to Larry and the remaining children on the passing of Herbie. We lived behind Herbie’s Grocery on Main Street and there was a trail from our house to Herbie’s Grocery. Herbie and Rosalie will both be missed.
I have many fond memories of Herbie. My brothers and I made many trips to his store on Highway 3 to buy candy, soda pop, and a ton of baseball card bubble gum. He always was so friendly to us. His sincere smile is what I will always remember about Herbie. Just thinking about him takes me back to my childhood in League City.
May God bless the Muehr family during this time of great sadness.
Larry, you and Terry were our friends and neighbors for many years and to us, your family was like royalty to the rest of us League City commoners during the special years of “Herbie’s”. Your dad treated us kids like family and I don’t know how we would have survived those long, hot summers w/o our daily Icees. Of course we used every bit of spare change on baseball and football cards and I would give anything for one more trip to your dad’s store. May god bless you all!
