Our deepest condolences to Jeannie and the family. Mr. Heffelfinger was a dear customer and a cherished friend. He would often stop by the shop just to say "Hi, how ya doing?" . He was always cheerful and brought a smile every time we saw him. He was a good man and we will miss him.

I'm going to miss Dick's smile and warmth. He was so pleasant to talk with anytime I saw him outside and he always had a positive attitude. So sorry for your loss.
