When I was just in my teens Frank was my Judo instructor. I have always been grateful for all I learned from him and have thought about him often. He was a great instructor, very patient and always easy to talk to. Many of my friends from high school soon joined the classes as well. Thank you Frank, you will be missed.

Dr. Heifer sent me a personal letter when I was a HS Senior, congratulating me for joining the Marine Corps in January 75. What a lasting impression that made for me. I still have that letter in my footlocker filled with USMC memories. It was the very first of many great ones to come.
RIP Mr. H

My sympathies to the family. Mr Heifer was one of my favorites at Pottstown Senior High School (1973) I seemed to spend a lot of time in his office and he was always trying to keep me out of trouble.

I want to tell you how nice your dad was to me as a kid in the Pottstown school system. I appreciated his warmth, sense of humor and big smile! He'll be missed! Jacqui Smith Watson PHS Class of 1976

My heartfelt sympathies go out to your family during this difficult time. I hope the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring much comfort. Just knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

Oh Nancy, I am beyond sad to see this. My first words were-"Smiley"! While I am sad, I am also so thankful for the pleasure of meeting you both, and all the fun, wonderful memories of Frank over the years. Please know that you and your family will be in my prayers, it is not easy, and Parkinsons sucks. Just glad to know that he isn't suffering anymore and hopefully smiling away. All my love, Andrea (from the doctors office-BFP).
