We were so blessed to have had Heinz in our lives. I remember the first time I met him, I was 6, he picked me, my mom and Grandmother up in NYC in his new Ford, he was so proud of that car. Then looking through our family photo album we caught a glimpse of his smile when you last visited us in Powell River BC. The way we teased each other when the Flyers & Oilers played each other. Charlotte and I are very thankful to have met him, shared some laughs with him and learned a few great gardening skills from him. Our hearts are heavy and we will not forget him, you are all in our prayers during this time of deep sorrow.
