Paul D. Heck

For those of you who are reading my father's guestbook, I want you to know he has experienced the ultimate healing! The poem that I posted has a lot of meaning to me. I truly feel that although on earth he could only be at one place at a time, it now feels as if he is with me all of the time. I was reading how angels will sometimes use birds to let you know of a spirit's presence. Could that have something to do with why while I was walking on the boardwalk a seagull chose to relieve...

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

I had just graduated from high school in 1975 and went into American Bank in Pottsville to apply for a job as a teller, and Mr. Heck was kind enough to hire me without any prior experience. He was the nicest man and akways a perfect gentleman. Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Melissa & Family -- Praise God that your father lived a life of such incredible service to his family, his community and his Lord. May God give you strength as the days pass but through His promise, you will all be together again and until that day your father will walk with the Lord. Jerry and I will be praying for your family.

Melissa - I am so sorry for your loss however praise God that you were home and able to spend time with your Dad during his last days. I pray that God will continue to guide and bless you today and always. With love,

Paul was my friend on the board of
directors at Pottsville Hospital. He
was also one of the most civic and
charitable-minded persons I ever met. My heart goes out to Betty and the other members of his family.

Betty & the Heck Family:
Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn the passing of Paul. He was a wonderful person to learn from, both about banking and community service. He leaves a strong legacy in both Berks and Schuylkill Counties.
The Klahr Family

Nana, Chris, Nancy, Dan, Missy, Chad, Amy and Andrew, we are so sorry about Poppop's passing. He was a very good man and welcomed us into your family completely, as you all did. We loved him like our own grandfather, and we will miss him terribly. May he find eternal peace in the arms of the Lord.

I am so sorry that we cannot be there with all of you at this time. Katie, Abbi, and I are thinking of all of you in this time of great loss. I miss you all!
