Very sorry to hear this. I got to know Ed well in the St. Luke and LCA CYO basketball days in the 2000's. Always wanted the best for his players and I pray for his family and many friends.

Good Attorney with whom I co-counseled some cases.
Good Catholic, went to daily Mass (and tried to get me to go)
Good friend to my wife and me.
Now in that Big Courtroom in the sky...

I am stunned and deeply saddened to learn of the death of my cousin and friend Ed Heben. Though we had been out of touch for decades, we discovered each other more recently on Facebook, and I have greatly enjoyed our exchanges ever since. I am very confident that Ed will be beholding the Beatific Vision and worshiping Our Lord directly, face-to-face, for all eternity. May God bless the entire Heben family!
