We knew Michael Heffernan to be a kind and caring man and we offer his wife, Betty, and his children our sincere sympathies. We hope the many happy memories of the life they shared bring them a measure of comfort now.

My heart & prayers go out to you and your family Steve. Needham will not be the same with out him.

I am so sorry for the loss of your dad, he was a great guy - Prayers for all of you.

More smiles than tears for all the “Heffs” who enjoyed so many memories with Big Mike. Remember all the times he’d walk into a field to watch you play, didn’t you know then that all was well in the world. What strength he...
