After his graduation, he went on for advanced studies (Maryland) to increase his knowledge of dentistry and because he wanted to be able to treat his patients to the best of his abilities.

His group won the contract and he spent a great summer entertaining passengers. His Pitt sticker was prominently displayed so that everyone could see it! Marilyn and Sy were avid collectors of beautiful, old, one-of-a-kind clocks and lifelong members of the American Association of Clock and Watch Collectors. He prided himself on being able to repair the complicated mechanisms in clocks. Prior to their recent move to Texas, Sy and Marilyn resided at La Posada in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida where they spent 12 wonderful years in the warm circle of close friends and La Posada associates. The historic Chautauqua Institution in Chautauqua, New York held a special place in Sy and Marilyn's hearts, having spent many summers there enjoying the variety of programs and the deep friendships of fellow Chautauquans. Dr. Herron was very proud of his family and they were very proud of him. He was a wonderful caring husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, and will be missed by his loved ones and friends.
