Funeral services will be held at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 5, 2008, at the First United Methodist Church, 1005 Leisure Road, Grove, Okla. Herb was born Dec. 22, 1929, in Anthony, Kan., to Herbert and Ruth Lungren. He and his sister, Beverly, grew up on the family farm near Caldwell, where he helped with the wheat crops, tended to the cattle and all the other duties associated with life on the farm. Herb attended Pleasant Valley Rural School and graduated from Caldwell High School in 1947. He later attended Kansas State College in Manhattan, Kan., and shortly thereafter joined the Air Force, where he served from 1948-1952 with the USAF Training Command, ultimately achieving the rank of Staff Sergeant. After his service, he returned to school at Southwestern College in Winfield, where he graduated cum laude in 1953. There he met the love of his life, Darline Almack, on a blind date and was spellbound. They were married in November 1953, in Wellington, and that feeling has been mutually shared ever since. Always the salesman, his early career moves included furniture sales, department store management and vacuum cleaner sales. After selling a vacuum to a General Motors representative who recognized his sales talent, he launched an impressive automotive sales career that included ownership of five General Motors dealerships over 39 years. From a humble beginning as a junior partner in a small Chevrolet dealership in Mankato, Kan., in 1960, he moved on to own two dealerships in Hays, one in Grove, Okla., and in Arkansas City. An avid "laker" and boater, Herb and Darline retired to Grove, Okla., in 1989. Herb served on community hospital boards, church committees and was active in other city development activities too numerous to mention. Professionally, he was honored by appointment to the state board of the Kansas Motor Car Dealers Association and the State of Kansas Highway Commission. Survivors include his love of 54 years; his sister, Beverly, and her husband, Ed Cox, Oklahoma City; daughters, Kathy Baker and her husband, Lowell, Terri David and her husband, Dr. Mike David, all of Grove, Okla.; sons, Jeff Lungren and wife, Nancy, of Grove, son, Steve Lungren and wife, Christi, of Arkansas City; 10 grandchildren, who adored him; and he will be missed by a very large extended family and circle of friends.
