George was the son of the late George Edward Heinly, Sr. & Elizabeth O'Donnell in Philadelphia. Baptized at St. Francis Xavier Church, Fairmount, Philadelphia. He graduated from Interboro High School and went on to study Accounting to receive his Bachelors from Widener University and Masters from Strayer University.
A Freemason, he was a Trustee of the Lansdowne Lodge No. 711, established in Lansdowne, PA in 1921. George cared deeply for his community expressed in his dedication as a public servant canvassing, polling, and volunteering for the Republican Party, notably Nancy Regan's "Just Say No to Drugs" campaign. He was an elected committee member for the Borough of Lansdowne, serving on Borough Council and for a decade beginning in 1993 as Tax Collector. In 1990 he established his own small tax business in Lansdowne, Your Tax Pro, at one time a chain throughout Delaware County, the Pocono Mountains and Leigh Valley. His loyal client base is a testament to his caring, attentive nature towards helping others. He enjoyed spending time with his family, friends and pets. He loved nature including; hiking, hunting, camping, & taking trips with his Airstream. His hobbies as a collector included coin and stamp collecting. His inner artist shone through from early childhood to adulthood building model train sets. Above all things George was a Beatles fan.
Loving Father to Tom Heinly and Beth Heinly (Gabriel Boyce); Cherished Grandfather to Lily, Ava, George IV, Alli and Michael Heinly. Also survived by his siblings, James Heinly (Elaine), Susan Stachelshki (Gary), Elizabeth "Betty" Heinly, and Richard Heinly. He is predeceased by his brother James David Diffenderfer, son George E. Heinly, III and wife Elizabeth "Beth" Morton. He is also survived by many nephews, nieces, cousins and more. He will be deeply missed not only by the community he served but immensely by those who loved him.

Like Tracy, I was a client of George's for only 4 years. As a self-employed artist, I have to file a lengthy "Schedule C". George was unfazed. At a time of year I find stressful, George was always personable and low key. When I saw evidence of his love for the Beatles, I decided to "gift him" a gift that I received during an illness. It was a recording of Beatles cover songs with a brilliant Latin/Brazilian spin arranged and recorded by Lansdowne's husband and wife music duo: Minas - Orlando and Patricia Haddad. The next time I came into the lobby to drop off my tax records, he heard my voice and came out of his office to thank me and say how much he enjoyed the album. He was a consummate professional, a fixture, if you will, in Lansdowne. I will truly miss him. May you find comfort in the way he lived his life and in the legacy he has left behind. God Bless.

I am deeply saddened to hear of George´s passing. He had taken care of my taxes for 20 years and when I saw my email I was in complete shock. It was always such a joy to see him and his staff at tax time and he would enjoy talking about the Beatles. I had seen a shirt with the Beatles Abby Road on the front and picked it up for him to put in his office to send to him and his staff and then today I see the email. Prayers to your family and everyone who knew you. Rest in peace Sir, it was a pleasure knowing you and thank you for all the years of trust with mine and my husbands taxes. You will be truly missed.

I am deeply sorry to hear about Mr.George passing. He has been a great trust advisory thru almost 12 to 13 years. Last time I met him he was excited about his Summer trip. I truly hope he knew how much I appreciate him... and yet I wished I could have said it more often. May the family find peace and comfort within all the great memories. RIP Mr. George

Every year I looked forward to talking to George about the trips he had taken and the ones he was getting ready to take in his air stream. He always wanted to know what was going on in my life. I always missed George III and now I will miss his dad, George II.
Thank you, George for all your kind words and all the help with my taxes.
God bless and may you rest in peace.

George has been doing our taxes for decades...I was so sorry to hear this sad news. We were just talking about that great trip he had planned to the airport out west where the Beatles landed...hugs to his family and close friends. He was a good guy and will be sorely missed even for those of us who only saw him once a year.

I was only a client for 4 short years but I I felt like George was a life long friend. His warm friendly demeanor made you not only trust him but love him too. I am so glad I brought you those cookies last time we meant George and told you how much I appreciated you and your staff. Just a small token of my love and appreciation to you. You will be missed dearly.

Just received an email this afternoon and I´m in complete shock to hear this sad news. We had a lot of great conversations over the past 17 years. I was looking forward to hearing all about his trip he planned this summer. He will be greatly missed. Heaven gained another beautiful angel!

I just received the email notification and am shocked and just devastated. While only a client for 13 years, I adored your dad/ granddad/ brother/ family member and this loss feels as if I have lost a member of mine! Each year we would catch up on the happenings and changes in our lives and I always felt that he was looking out for me via my taxes. My God. The Beatles have lost their number 1 fan in Pennsylvania for sure. And I, a treasured friend. God speed George; you are deeply missed. My condolences to all.
