My condolences to Aunt Nancy and the entire Robert Heitkamp family! Being employed as a public employee for the last 25 years as a Building Official/Fire Marshal, I have had literally hundreds of owners, architects, contractors etc...tell me what a delight it was to work with Uncle Bob and that his masonry work was the finest in all of St.Louis! That always made me feel proud to be a Heitkamp! RIP Uncle Bobby! We will miss you!!!
