Warren Hecker

I miss Warren's cheerful communications as a former student at Central High. He had a warm way of connecting that is missed and somehow cannot be replaced. Bless his memory.

The love of my life

Thank you to the family for this kind reminder. Yes, I have missed Warren's cheerful and informative communications. His kindness offered me a link to my brief life as a student at Central High and I really loved receiving his news. His thoughtful and warm commentary was always a treat. God Bless!

I first knew Hap as Sam through Bud's ambulance. I worked in the lab at Blodgett and knew Sharon. Hap eventually learned phlebotomy was was the one I could call if things got hectic as he was close and could be there quickly. I also worked with Jill and Oscar and Kim. He was an awesome person and they had a wonderful family that were a joy to know. He will leave a big hole in the lives of his family and friends. He definitely made a positive impact on the world.

I had the pleasure of working with Hap for several years on the EGR fire department. We knew him as Sam. He was always someone you could count on.

I met Hap while working at Blodgett Hospital in the mid-60s. He was a real gentleman. We even took a trip together canoeing under the Mackinaw Bridge to Mackinac Island - quite an adventure!! One day I hope to meet Hap again in Heaven. My condolences to all who loved him here on earth.
