I just learned of the passing/transition of Charlie "Hep" Heptinstall. I remember him as a loving husband and father as well as a good provider for them. His grandchildren adored him.
We were aquainted for a very short time a very long time ago. He was very generous to me, a wise man.
He woke me up to some realities of life and about growing up. My deepest regret is not thanking him when he was in this lifetime. I'll never forget him.
My sincere love and good wishes for his family.

Suzanne and Suzette,
So sorry to hear about Hep. I know how hard it is to lose your father. Just know I am thinking of your family at this time. No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

Dear Suzette, Mike, Josh and Nic,
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I did not know your father/grandfather, but just how much he meant to you in evident in all your stories and laughter about the holidays, the golf course and time spent with Heppy. I hope in coming days you will be able to cherish your memories and know what a wonderful gift he was to those of you who loved him.
