Miss you Kurt, you were wise, kind and always had a great sense of humor. I will miss you, thanks for calling me you friend. It was great being yours. Thank you for everything.

Kurt was one of the best friends I have had in life.

Kurt was a good friend of mine in the '70 in Pasadena. We both enjoyed our time with AYSO and had a winning team.Too bad I learned of him passing on. He was a great guy.

Kurt was my next door neighbor and advisor in 1957 & 1958 at the University of Texas in Austin. Kurt was an exceptional & very interesting person even then, and I always considered him and his family to be good friends. The world badly needs more Kurt Heftmans!

Geschätzte Familie Heftman, ich habe kürzlich ein Foto des verstorbenen Kurt Heftman gefunden und möchte es in die Fotogalerie einfügen. Ich habe sehr schöne und positive Erinnerungen an Kurt aus seiner Zeit beim JPL, Pasadena und später beim ESOC, Darmstadt. Ich wurde damals als Junger Raumfahrt interessierter in meinen Wünschen hervorragend von Kurt unterstützt und ich verdanke es zum grossen Teil Ihm, dass ich heute im Raumfahrt Business arbeiten kann. Besten Dank Herr Heftman
