Paul Heilman Obituary
Paul M Heilman II
Resident of Belmont, CA formerly of Westport, CT,
Passed gently into eternal life September 15, 2010. His quiet, smiling presence will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
Born on July 20, 1922, in the American Hospital of Mexico City, to Dorthea Blair and Paul M Heilman, his childhood was spent in Mexico, Chicago, IL and Havana. He graduated from MIT in 1944 and maintained lifelong friendships with many of his ATO fraternity brothers.
During World War II Paul served aboard LCI 439 in the Pacific seeing action at Okinawa and Lingayen Gulf. His career was in technical sales working for multi-nationals, trade association as well as his own sales agency. He also was active in community organizations and was a Scoutmaster for many years.
Paul was preceded in death by his wife of 56 years, Mary Ellen Davis Heilman. They met in college and married after the war. Their home was Westport so they enjoyed the town and waterfront frequently.
In retirement he became more active at church, traveled, played paddle tennis and bridge, organized the first science fair at Staples and participated in the Y's Men. In 2007 he moved to Belmont to be closer to his son.
Survived by his son, Paul M Heilman, III, daughter Maritza Heilman Jackson and brother Theodore Heilman of Coral Gables, FL. Memorial service in Westport will be announced. In lieu of flowers, donations to Southern Connecticut Science Education Foundation, P O Box 5208, Westport, CT 06881 would be appreciated. Crippen & Flynn

To the Heilman family: Paul and I were always close friends. I was sorry to have lost track of him recently. I remember meeting Ted many moons ago. Paul, his wonderful wife, and my wife Helen used to play bridge with the Heilmans in Westport when we lived in Fairfield, Helen left me on Aug 2004. At ninety I am expect to join the clan again but who knows when.
