Cherished Opa to Christopher and Patrick Hocko, Matthew and Kaitlin Nadas, Stephanie, Samantha (Alex) and Brett Milde. Heinz will be fondly remembered by his nieces, nephews and extended family in Germany, as well as his many friends. His family extends a sincere 'Thank You' to Dr. Lawrence, Dr. Vahdat, Dr. Nolan, RPN Jennifer and RN's Jennifer and Melissa and all the nurses on the 6th floor of the Welland Hospital, for their compassionate care of Heinz. Our heartfelt 'Thanks' to the many PSW's whose loving, gentle care allowed Heinz to remain at home for the last two years. Most especially Aaron, Gloria, Penny and Shelly. Heinz retired in 1992 from a 35 year career as a machinist at Atlas Steel. In his retirement, Heinz and Ingeborg enjoyed many years of travelling and cruising.
