Not sure what to say?

I just want to say how sorry I am to hear of Dr.Heggen´s passing. He always had a smile on his face and spent time with me when I was going through a very rough time with my health. What an amazing guy! Praying for you.

So sorry to hear of Don's passing. we were in school together

I went to school with Don at University Michigan Med School and he was a great guy and very Funny. So sorry to hear of his passing. Doug Ridey class of 67.

Dr Heggen was a wonderful boss and such a kind person. Will cherish the memories found when working for his OB practice. Kara Argo

I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Heggen's passing! He was such an integral part of my life - I worked for him at his OB practice for 17 years. That office was pretty tight knit, & we still try to get together whenever we can & Dr Heggen would always come if he could to hang with the ladies. :) I have so many fun memories of him - he was SUCH a character! From his love of Far Side comics, to his vast knowledge of almost EVERYTHING - he could always be counted on for a laugh in the morning, an ear...
