Thomas "Tom" King Herget passed away on Tuesday, Feb. 28, 2017, after fighting a short, but fierce battle with cancer. He enjoyed life — from his family and many friends to his myriad business and real estate investments both past and present. More than anything else he loved people and had wonderful relationships with close friends and business acquaintances near his previous home in the mountains of New Hampshire and his current residences in North Hampton, Martha's Vineyard, Mass., and Wailea Point, Maui.

Tom was born in 1943 and raised in the Berkeley Hills of California long before "the hills" were well known. His childhood home was the third house built on the hill and was sited to overlook San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. He graduated from University of California, Berkeley with a bachelor of science in chemistry, followed by a master of business administration from the Kellogg School of Business at Northwestern University in Chicago. He met the love of his life at Northwestern, Bonnie Joan Kitchen, aka, Makena Herget.
