To the entire Heintzelman family. Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. Bobby and I worked together at SMC. He knew his job well, and took pride in his workmanship. He was always a guy you could depend on.
RIP Bobby

I was acquainted with Bob when we went to Marian. He graduated in 75, while I graduated in 76 with his late Brother John. Bob was a nice guy, affable and friendly. Rest in peace Bob.

Bobby was a great Little League Coach in Lansford. He coached for the Aces, and I was a player on the Cubs. Even though we were on different teams, and he would yell against us when we played each other, it was meant to bring out the best in all of us as players. Rest in Peace Bobby, will meet again. I will bring all the trophy's, and we can share. God Bless. Joseph Chip Solarczyk.
