Dear Heisler family, I was very sad to hear of Mr. Heisler's passing. I always enjoyed the time I was able to share with him. I was always impressed by his physical accomplishments, but was more impressed by his intelligence, humor, and respect that he exemplified. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. God Bless! Vince Nicols
