In Memory of Bob Heiss

Dad Heiss passed away peacefully at U of M hospital on Sunday morning at 2:35 am.  The family was with him, and we are thankful that he is not suffering after his battle with cancer, heart & kidney failure the last couple of years.  Dad will be greatly missed, and we look forward to sharing many fond memories.  This summer we plan to invite family to join us in a special memorial burial at Bear Lake.

Dad was 65 years old and was an avid gun collector, and loved to hunt, fish and the great outdoors.  He was a sales manager for IBM and worked there for over 25 years.  Every couple of years he moved up the ranks starting as computer repair man and ending as a sales manager on one of their large accounts Dow Chemical in Midland, MI.  Every time Dad was promoted the family moved locations and enjoyed living in many different states (NY, IN, CO, NW, MI, etc) , and I think a total of 12 different houses.  He is survived by his daughter Susan Compton (her two boys Zach & Tristan) and son James (Beth) Heiss (and daughter Emily).  His three brothers - John, David & Brad Heiss.
