John, Jason and Christine,
I am so sorry for the sudden loss of your dad. I knew him over 20 years, since Payless then again at Safeway. He had an amazing amount of love for the 3 of you. He was always so proud of you. He was a wonderful man to know and be around. He will be greatly missed by a lot of people. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I knew Heinz for over 40 years and am sad to hear that he suddenly died while on a short vacation to Oregon. He was a very kind, generous, caring and intelligent man who loved his three children very much as well has his friends. He never rocked the boat, rather he took everything in stride. Heinz will definitely be missed for such a long time. May God Bless you, Heinz, and may you rest without any pain.
