David Michael Heinle

Simply the kindest man ever. There was not a mean bone in his body. Dave, I will miss your laughter. I certainly can't repeat in this forum all the pranks, mishaps, bungles and outright silliness we all had at Boss Enterprises. But as you know, it's all on video. (If only we had known then.) So very glad that your last decade of life was spent doing what you loved most...traveling. Your untimely death in Hawaii reminds me of your visit there in about 1986. When you came back to work we had...

The cold wind blows as I stand along the shore;
Ocean waves crashing with an unspeakable roar.
The departure of a loved one, weighs heavy on the living,
With intensity of loneness, that seems so unforgiving.

I was just thinking about Dave a couple days ago.
I worked at the HQ office of the BK in Salem( for 10 years before retiring,) when they moved to their new office on Hagers Grove Road . Dave liked to pull pranks on me whenever he could. I remember one time he put a little clear sticky thing on my telephone, then he took all my paper clips and made one long string of them . We all had a good laugh over those.
Bless his soul.
