William Heimburger Obituary

Heimburger, William R. Bill Passed away suddenly on Wed., May 1, 2013. Loyal and loving husband of Debbie Heimburger (nee Lohkamp); a cherished son of G. Fred (Marge C.) Heimburger and the late Susan R. Heimburger (nee Reynolds); younger brother of Catherine (David) Cortright, Lynn (John) Wright; an adorable uncle of Matthew and Stephen Wright and Jeffrey Cortright; dear son-in-law of Darwin and Shirley Lohkamp; dear brother-in-law of Karen (Chris DeFabio) Lohkamp; dear cousin and friend to many. Bill's greatest achievement was starting and growing a successful sign and graphic business. He loved being on the water throughout his life, and spent many summers at Lake Charleviox in Michigan with his family. Bill sailed through Europe while attending Watermark School. One of his favorite pass times was boating with family and friends. Herbie and Cooper are Bill and Debbie's canine children. They will miss going on walks and playing in the yard. Most of all they will miss greeting Bill at the door when he comes home. Bill's broad smile and big heart filled every room he was in. It was next to impossible for him to go out without running into someone he knew. Bill was an anchor to his family and shared a special bond with his nephews. He was a loyal friend to many and will be missed by all. Services: Memorial service Wed., May 8, 11am at Ladue Chapel, 9450 Clayton Rd. St. Louis, MO 63124, with a gathering 10am until time of service. Interment private. Memorials to the Epilepsy Fund at St. Louis Children's Hospital, 1 Children's Place, St. Louis, MO 63110, or a charity of one's choice is appreciated. Visitation Tues., 4-8pm at Bopp Chapel, 10610 Manchester Rd., Kirkwood. www.boppchapel.com

I spent a year with Bill onboard T/V Te Vega with the Watermark School. Bill was such a fun person to be around. Good laughs. Good food. While he was taking college classes in Vermont he also spent Thanksgiving with me and my family in North Conway,NH.

It was my pleasure to have met Bill at the MAC when he was a regular participant in volleyball games throughout the years. Always on his face was that welcoming smile and twinkle in his eye. He will be sorely missed and will remain in my prayers and memories. Dave Miller

I could say a lot about Bill and still have so much more to add to his list of great qualities. He was always quick with a smile and able to make adventures out of little day events. Bill was a trailblazer even if at the expense of a few new scratches and dents on his brand new car. I will truly miss him, but will remember him somewhere on the water, causing trouble and looking for fun. Love you all-

Debbie and family,

I am so sorry to hear about Bill. I have not seen him recently, but he was a friend I met during my college days. He was the happiest person with the most up beat outlook on life I have ever known. I will keep you in my thoughts. I hope that you are blessed by knowing that he was truly a great person.

We are saddened by the news of Bill's passing. He was always an upbeat guy with a smile on his face. We got to know him well while going to baseball games and working together on his cars. You built a great team at graphics factory that will make you proud Bill. Your presence will be greatly missed by all of us in the Fenton Business Park.
