So sorry, Jan, to hear about Howard´s passing. I still remember the dance we enjoyed at an East Utica event ( thanks to you!) It was really nice to know you and Howard at Junior High.

Though I didn't know him well, he was always friendly and smiling, when he came to the Zoo with Jan. So sorry Jan, for you and your family. My prayers are with you.

I enjoyed chatting with him when he visited the Utica Zoo with his wife Jan who volunteers there. Always enjoyed an ice cream sandwich when there.

I had Mr. Heffron for a substitute teacher and was just chatting about him the other day. I always loved when he came to our class and played "pick your poison" where we were randomly given a word in the dictionary to spell and to attempt to define! May he rest in peace. My deepest condolences to his family.

I am sorry to hear of Mr. Heffron's passing. I knew Mr. Heffron as my Varsity swimming coach for two years. I clearly remember his love and enthusiasm for swimming. I also remember his advocacy for me during that time. I respected and still respect him. It was good to have known you Coach Heffron.
