One response to “Heier, Frederick J.”
I grew up next-door to the Heier family in Brighton. Not only was Cherie my best friend (still is), but I spent many hours at their home and going places with their family. Mr. and Mrs. Heier were both very kind and taught me many things. One time when I was a Senior in high school, I had finagled someone older to buy me a 6 pack of beer for the weekend. I obviously couldn’t take it in my house, so I hid the bag underneath a huge pine tree in the Heier’s side yard, near our yard. I went to get it on Friday evening and it was gone. The next day Mr. Heier saw me and quietly said to me, “Thank you Chris for the beer. I found it when I was cutting the lawn.” I must have turned bright red I was so embarrassed. He never told my parents, but it made me feel so guilty I learned a lesson. Condolences from me and from my husband Joe and my brother Rob to the entire Heier family on the loss of a great husband, Dad, Granddad and Great Granddad. You will be missed.
