    Dear Anne and family, I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad, Husband, Grandfather and Great Grandfather! May you all hold your memories close until you are reunited in Heaven. I am sending love, hugs and prayers to all of you!

    To the entire Heyman family, especially my dear old friend Julie, I am so very sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. I have so many wonderful memories with your family in our growing years. And I still have the Christmas tree he made me so many years ago. Each year I think of him and your family when I unpack it. It makes me smile. I pray that the memories you all share will help you in this time of mourning. I think of you often. Take care and sending God’s Blessings.

    We were saddened to hear your dad passed away. We can’t remember a time that he didn’t have a smile on his face. Thinking of you and wishing you the peace and comfort that all those years of good memories can bring you.

    Dear Pat and girls,
    Some of my favorite memories are when you guys came to Green Bay. Lots of card playing and laughing. I loved the comment about betting because I am sure I lost plenty of side bets to Uncle Bob. We will have a Mass said for him in Oconto Falls and your family will be in our prayers.

    So sorry to hear about Bob. I played a lot of golf with him, Earl Koch, Ward Stiemert, And Barney Barnhat. I know they are all together now playing in a foursome.

    To the Heymen family. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I always enjoyed spending time at your house as a child and especially remember the light-hearted, happy man that Bob always was. Love to all.

    So sorry to hear of Roberts passing. I have many fond memories of the times I spent with Robert and Pat.
