Master Bair, it is with a saddened heart to hear of Master Heintz's passing. Master Heintz was truly an amazing man and I am happy and proud to say that I was and am part of his legacy!! Blessings to you and the rest of the family!!

Kaye, I am so sorry to hear of Eric's death. I didn't know him very well, but I know the man you would love is a good man. I will keep you and your family close to my heart during this difficult time.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always. My family and I will always remember him and all he taught us through taekwondo! We are all black belts thanks to him! He will really be missed. Hugs and prayers

It was a privilege to know Master Eric Heintz. His selflessness with his time. When I think of respect I think of Master Heintz. I can say with all honesty that I would not be the man I am today with out him.
