Donald Heimer Obituary

DONALD ‘WIMP’ HEIMER, 83 Donald “Wimp” Heimer, 83, of Narvon, formerly of Eagleville, husband of Ruth N. (Miller) Heimer, passed away Tuesday, March 1, 2016 at his residence. Born in Norristown, he was the son of the late John and Mary (Atkinson) Heimer. Don was an Air Force veteran of the Korean War. He loved gardening and making birdhouses which were regularly given to family and friends. Wimp’s generosity, work ethic, humility, and selflessness are all qualities that our family continuously aspires to mimic within our lives. Surviving along with his wife are three sons, Donald, Dennis and Drew Heimer; six grandchildren, and one sister Nancy Jenkins of Honeybrook.

Mrs.Heimer, Donny, Denny & Drew,
So sorry to hear about the passing of your husband and father. After reading the obituary, it reminded me of all the good times we had together in the old neighborhood.

Don was my knight in shining armor of a neighbor. Whenever my parents weren't home and something scared me he always came to make sure I was safe. He was an amazing craftsman, a doting husband to Ruth always with his Honey Do Lists, and a fun and caring neighbor. We were so blessed to have him in our lives for so many years. Ruth, you and your family are in our hearts. Xo
