Herbert Victor Penner, 98, died Feb. 19, 2026, in Glasgow. He was born Aug. 6, 1927, to Henry and Mary (Lentzner) Penner in Anaheim, Calif. The family later moved to Larslan to pursue farming. He graduated from Glasgow High School in 1945, then went on to attend Tabor College in Hillsboro, Kansas. He transferred to the University of Montana in Missoula where he finished his college career, graduating in 1951 with a degree in Business Administration. He worked for International Harvester in Billings for a year, then came home to help his father with farming.

He enjoyed cars and working on them and took great care to ensure his personal driving car was always clean and polished. At one point, he restored a Harley Davidson vintage motorcycle that he donated to a museum and eventually sold. He and Verna spent 49 years together until her death in 2023. He was a man of faith that greatly valued a relationship with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He was preceded in death by his wife, Verna; and two sisters: Clara Unruh and Lola Pyle; a stepdaughter, Jerie Keil of Utah; and a stepson, Ronald Sachs of California.
