The keynote of Herbert C. Slamps long and useful life was an abiding friendliness. It is doubtful that he ever had an enemy in his whole career; it is known that his friends and admirers were legion.
In a quite and unostentatious way he went about doing good among his fellow men, and his interest in and his work in behalf of his church, St. Mark's Reformed provided a shining page in his book of good deeds.
As a member of the banking personnel with whom he was associated he drew the confidence and and affection of hundreds of persons who had dealings with his firm by his unfailing courtesy and good humor.
This month, just a year a go, he and his good wife celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary, an event which epitomized his notable qualities as a husband and a father, and in his home the same admirable characteristics which he showed the public were always manifest.
The world is much better for having possessed a man and a citizen of such a high type, and his passing will be sincerely mourned by uncounted persons who enjoyed his sterling friendship and drew inspiration and purpose from the ideal which he lived and spoke.
