I had mr Heery in the 70s. He was a great teacher and an all around good man. He wasn't afraid to help u if u had a learning issue or any problem. After many years if u see him, he would stop and talk...as if time stood still. He will be missed by many people. . May he R.I.P. I'm sure he earned his wings.
