William "Bill" August Jude Heine, Sr, died on April 1, 2020 at the age of 82. He is survived by the love of his life, his wife of 58 years, Linda (Dunn-Flynn) Heine and his 4 children Cindy Heine (Charlotte), William "AJ" August Jude Heine, Jr (Shannon), Marcie O'Dwyer (Joseph) and Susan Ellender (Jules). He was "Paw-Paw" to 6 grandchildren-Emily Heine, William "Gus" August Jude Heine, III, John "Jack" Sylvan IV and Charles "Will" William Walsten, Julia and Jenna O'Dwyer as well as 2 bonus grandchildren Caroline Garnett (Shane) and Andrew Ellender (Hillary). He was a great-grandfather to Amelia Garnett and Helena Ellender. He is also survived by his brother George (Joal)-who was the only one to call him "Willie Augie"-sister Shirley Elmore, sister-in-law Patricia Flynn (Jerry). He was blessed to have and love countless nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews and great-great nieces and great-great nephews. He was proceeded in death by his parents George and Bernadine Heine, his loving sisters Georgette Heine and Vera Remer as well as his in-laws Marjorie and Emile Flynn. In addition to those named above he was also known as "Dad", "Paw-Paw", "Goobie" and "Uncle Bill" to many friends, in-laws and extended family members, which he loved! His world revolved around his family, his love of food and putting those two together was truly his happy place. Bill was known for many things including his optimistic view of, well, everything and his generosity! He always took such delight in even the smallest things. He was a born marketer or "idea man" who had a knack for enlisting all to help make his ideas come to fruition. Professionally, Bill was a group insurance salesperson/consultant for his entire professional career. He was the first person in the state of Louisiana to be both a licensed life, health & accident agent and to become a Certified Employee Benefits Specialist (CEBS), which he later taught at Loyola University. He was the co-founder of Associated Benefits Consulting and SyncStream Solutions LLC, a graduate of Tulane University and a member of St Augustine's Episcopal Church. He was the "perfect specimen" of a man, husband and father. It was his request that donations be made to any of the following charities. St. Augustine Episcopal Church, Ministry Training Source, Jericho Road or the charity of your choice. Prayers are most appreciated. A celebration of his life will be held at a later date.

One of the many privileges we share in this journey called life, is meeting people like Bill along our way. While it's been many years since I enjoyed his personal presence in my life, I will count each memory a sweet blessing, as often as Bill comes to mind. AJ, Cindy and family, may God continue to use the love Bill shared in and through you all to those you continue to influence and bless because of Bill's great gift of himself to you. May you truly rest in the peace that God our Father, family and friends can share with you during this time.

Dear family, Ellen and I are deeply saddened for you. Bill and all of you always treated us like family. Bill's love of New Orleans, and of course, all the cajun food was a delight to share. His gracious, positive outlook on life will be terribly missed. Our tears and blessings are with you. May God keep Bill and all of his family in His loving arms.

I met Bill when I moved to Louisiana. He and I spent many days on the road traveling to business meetings/appointments. He was a wise businessman and a great family man. It was my good fortune to have known Bill and his family. We enjoyed some Mardi Gras celebrations with the wonderful Heine family. With nothing but the fondest of memories, I'll miss him.

I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Bill through one of my best friends (Cindy) when we were in college together. When visiting the Heine home one day, I found out my younger brother (Buddy) was friends with their second daughter (Marcie). With that said, I discovered that Mr. Bill and Mrs. Linda would often feed Buddy...not because there was no food at the Villa home but because they welcomed everyone with open arms and meals in the Heine house were filled with such joy. I soon found that out first hand.
Mr. Bill was the perfect blend of a man with very strong character while emulating the wonder and joy in such a childlike, infectious manner. He and Linda made the perfect team! My heart is with his whole family right now...but I know they will be strengthened by the legacy he has left with them.
Here's to you, Mr. Bill. I raise my glass and toast you and all the powerful ways you have influenced so many. Rest in peace. You will be dearly missed.

i am brokenhearted at the loss of my dear friend, Bill. He was one of a kind. It is hard to believe that he is not here to talk with, as we did so often. He was funny, full of life, always positive, and "Uncle Bill" to my children. I will miss him so very much. My love and prayers to his wonderful family. We go back a long way.
