He was employed for over 30 years at Bendix Corporation in South Bend, retiring in 1987. Herb served in the United States Navy, and was a veteran of World War II. His sense of duty continued, as he served in Milton Township as Supervisor, Clerk, and on the Planning Commission board. On February 18, 1950, in South Bend, he married the former Gertrude T. Zeisz, with whom he celebrated last month the remarkable sixty-sixth anniversary of their wedding. Surviving family includes his wife, Gert Rosselit, and their children, Chris (& Ila) Rosselit of Niles, Terri Wielgos of Mishawaka, Indiana, and Tom (& Louisa) Rosselit of Niles; and grandchildren, Ellen Rosselit, Kara Rosselit, and JP Wielgos.
