Heitkamp's I remember your dad just as described in his o bit a man of honesty and integrity. I had many great conversations with him over the years mostly concerning fishing while repairing his construction equipment. There are few people I can say I enjoyed working for but he was definitely one of them. Sorry for your loss Dan Siebert (Pat Kelly Mechanic)
