Michael Heffelfinger

Mike called me one day and asked if I had ever completed my PhD. I felt like I disappointed him because I hadn't. He passed before I went back and completed my doctorate. I wish that I could have told him that I did. His mild disappointment inspired me and my career changed significantly after I completed my degree. Thank you Mike.

We have such fond memories of Mike. He was a good friend and he will always be missed by us. My hubby Raj loved talking to him on the phone very often. Mike was such a good cook and we had many dinners enjoying his cooking ! Lots of love to his family ,
In Christs love,

Michael I think about you, when ever I see peas and carrots or plastic! RIP!

Maryann,

My heart is hurting, having just learned of Mike's passing. We went to high school together, and had been in touch in the last year. Mike was at our wedding, and I was always proud of how he had made himself a self-made success. He was a good soul, and my wife and I are in shock. He will be missed terribly, and our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sadly,

Mike was a good and long-time family friend. Please accept my deepest condolences.

Mike was a good friend of the family , and he will be missed greatly. My husband , Raj would speak to him very often, and I would hear him chuckling on the phone, enjoying his conversation with Mike. Mike was a devout and God- fearing man, and I am glad that he died in his sleep, and did not have to suffer. Our prayers and comfort to maryann and the family, God Bless.

Mike worked with my Dad at Mobil in Rochester, NY. When I was growing up, he spent a lot of time with our family whether it was camping trips, dinners together, etc. I have this fond memory of being about 8 and Mike sitting at our kitchen table helping me paint my nails. My Mom was doing a bad job and I was on the verge of a temper tantrum. He calmed me down and wasn't bad at painting nails either :) My sincere condolences and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.

Mike and I worked at Mobil. We stayed in touch thereafter. We spoke often, past 20 years. He would always brighten my day with his humor. Mike was a good man, and a great friend. I miss him but am consoled with the thought that he is in a far better place. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Marianne, and his extended family.

Mike and I worked at Think together, since I arrived in 2008. He was a very kind & humorous person who always had something out of the oridinary to say to someone. He will be missed.
Please accept my prayers and wishes on your loss.
