Frank, Joyce and Sheila were like family to us back in the days Lane and I lived in Covington and Troy. The End Zone was my first job when I moved to Ohio. Those were some really good times for us and Ill always cherish those memories. Im really sorry for your loss. Prayers to all of Franks family.

We were saddened to hear of Franks passing. He will most likely be cutting meat, making roast beef and tending bar in heaven! Our sympathies to the family.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the Heitkamp Family as Frank was so special and so caring about others and always wanted to find ways to help someone. I had the privileged to service Frank for over 25 years at the restaurant. I am truly blessed to have gotten to know him and his family. I will truly miss him but will always keep the memories fresh in my heart. My family send lots of prayers and condolences to all of the Heitkamp Family and the End Zone Family.

So sorry for your loss. He was a hard working man no doubt, but he was also a part of Covington life from the start of the meat market with wonderful fresh meat, to the End Zone. His tenderloins were famous around the area. Prayers for family and friends.

I would like to repeat something that others have already said and that is that Frank was a very special fellow. He was very hard working and was always ready to serve you in any way he could. Years ago he allowed my husband and myself hold country dance lessons and a dance in his party room for nearly nothing to pay him. He will be sorely missed and I especially loved his potato soup. RIP Frank you were a good servant.

I was very sorry to hear about the sudden and untimely loss of Frank. I know he was a significant influence instilling character traits that the Heitkamp siblings exhibit today. Independence, hard work, responsibility, and altruistic values continue to reflect in them.
Although I was not privileged to meet Frank personally, I've heard many shared stories about the Heitkamp family from childhood to present and I'm hoping that the good memories will be a comfort to you while you grieve his loss.

So sorry to hear this. Through the Heitkamp siblings and he being a business owner in downtown Minster as was my father, I got to know Frank and his overall jovial outlook on life. Seemed like he always had a good joke and laugh. Overall a very standup and proud father was my impression and rightfully so. Ciao Frank! Rest in peace.
