Harold Heins Obituary

After many years as a dairy farmer, he worked as a millwright for Galileo Fiber Optics in Sturbridge, prior to his retirement. Harold enjoyed the outdoors, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, and ATV riding around his beloved farm. A large part of the farm was recently put into conservation for the enjoyment of all.
He is survived by a son, Kenneth Heins, and his wife Nancy of Salem, NH; three daughters, Cheryl Heins of Holland, Marilyn O'Brien of Southbridge, and Susan Merle of Holland; eight grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and two sisters, Lillian Kottman of Grain Valley, MO, and Laura Jean Herdman of Lake Lotawana, MO.

Grandpa Hines was always so kind to me. I admired him greatly and will miss him every day. His great grandson Stacy has a wonderful man to emulate in Grandpa Hines. We love you, miss you and you'll always be in our hearts. To Marilyn, Pat and Tim, whom I all love dearly, I'm so sorry for your loss. He was a wonderful man. You'll be in our prayers. All our love and support. Kelly and Ray Fisher and Stacy O'Brien
