Herb was born April 9, 1918 at Otter Creek, ND, south of Beulah, to Henry and Emma Blum Singer. He grew up and farmed in the Beulah area. He volunteered for the Marine Corps and served in WWII in the South Pacific Theater until 1946 when he was honorably discharged. When he returned from the war he was united in marriage to his true love Alice, July 13, 1946. He went to Medora and purchased the Log Cabin Bar along with his brother-in-law, Lew Voeltz. They owned and operated the bar for six years before he moved to Bismarck and began working for North Dakota Concrete. After several years of working in Bismarck he was promoted to manager of the Williston plant. During that time he purchased a ranch east of town, where he operated a successful business, buying and selling cattle. Through this endeavor he met many wonderful friends. Herb was active in the Lutheran Church in Williston where he served on the church council for many years. He moved the family back to Bismarck and started a construction business together with his son, Niles Singer. He later retired but continued to purchase property in the area. Herb was always there to lend a helping hand to anyone and to encourage their endeavor. Herb is survived by his family who will miss him dearly: his wife, Alice; his son Glenn and Lanette Singer of Dickinson and their children Paula and Rex Mosley of Roseburg, OR, Jeanine and Chris Kopezynski of Orange County, CA, and Amy and Dr. Aaron Garman of Beulah, ND; his son James Stacy Singer and his daughters, Ashley, Jamie, and Lindsey all of Fargo, ND; his son Niles H. Singer of Bismarck; his daughter, Cindy and Michael Morales of Navarre, FL and their children, Zachary and Melissa "Missy"; four great-grandchildren; two sisters, Hilda Blum and Esther Bob Fleisher; one brother, Henry Mabel Singer; and two sisters-in-law, Karen Singer and Ruth Singer. He was preceded in death by his parents and three brothers.
