In August 2008 Ted was admitted to hospital for some routine exploratory surgery and was subsequently diagnosed with cancer. The cancer progressed much more quickly than anyone anticipated, and by the time the new academic year began it seemed likely that Ted might only have a few weeks to live, however just before midnight on 29th September 2008 Ted passed away.
What was clear to everyone who came in contact with Ted throughout this period was the depth of his faith, the peace which came from God, and the grace and humour which were so much part of Ted’s character.
On Thursday 30th October at 2:30pm ICC will host a celebration of Ted's life at the Barony Hall (part of the University of Strathclyde)
Dr Ted Herbert's life is a cause for celebration and it is right that in a centre of learning we should celebrate this remarkable life.
I've only just heard about Ted's death 3 years ago and am really saddened by it. I knew Ted when I was young in Christ Church YPF in Surbiton, and commuting with him to a job he helped obtain for me where he worked at Letts diaries as an accountant in London. We also rented a room/flat from him and Diana when I was first married for about a year. I have many fond memories of 'Minniedale' where many christian meetings were held and many people came to learn more about God, the house was always open. Ted had other christians to stay who also shared their faith such as Kingsley and Dave Bowker. Although a long time ago now, those days made an impact on my life and helped me find the Christian faith when my background was atheist. My heart goes out to Diana and the children.

I met Ted only once, at the international congress of the Society of Biblical Literature in Cambridge in 2002, where I gave a paper on 4QSam-a, the Dead Sea scroll of Samuel that Ted revealed to the world with his epochal Reconstructing Biblical Dead Sea Scrolls, Brill, 1997. He had come down from Glasgow just to meet me, who plagiarized much of his work for my own humble The Samuel Scroll from Qumran, Brill, 2001. He was very helpful in explaining my options for graduate work at ICC, and I got so involved in conversation with him that I missed my plane back to New York and ended up on a later flight which dropped me in Newark in the midlle of the night, far from my car, which was parked at Kennedy airport on Long Island! I've spent the last five years trying fruitlessly to get Ted back to work on 4QSam-a, to finish his initial work which limited itself to 2 Samuel, where most of the fragments are concentrated. But his dedication to the work at ICC prevented him from taking up the gauntlet. (The work on the scroll is complicated and time-consuming.) I now feel an obligation to finish the work that he so admirably began.
