I worked with John (Jack) at the Dupont site,Pencader. He was one of the best people that I worked with at Dupont. He kept telling me to stop in and see him at the beach but I could never find his house.RIP,John. God Bless you Delores.
My deepest sympathy to the family. Jack & I go back to 1955 at Chestnut Run, he made the workday pleasant for everyone. I really appreciated his presence.
Keith, My Deepest Sympathy for the loss of your father.
I did not know Mr. Heckert, but if a man be judged by the son he raised, he must have been a fine man indeed. My condolences to the family.

Dear Mrs. Heckert and family, I remember the fond times we had as neighbors in Brookside. Our dog Sandy loved visiting with you. I am so sorry to hear of your loss and understand how you feel as we lost my mom (Theresa) on September 3, 2011. Mom always talked about visiting you down the beach. It is hard but best to remember all the good times. Our sympathy to you and your family. Theresa (Krah) Dant and family.
Dear Keith, Jeff, Robin and family,
I was so saddened to hear of the passing of your father. I was lucky enough to be a member of your family for a short period of time and to be able to call him "dad". He was always so sweet to me and had such a great smile. He will be greatly missed.
God Bless
My dearest Robin and family,
I am truly sorry for your loss. I know how difficult his illness was. He is at peace.
Your Dad's obituary is beautiful.
Love
My sincere condolences to you the family of Jack! I, being a Hospice Volunteer, only spent 2 hours with Delores and Jack at Cadia. However, those 2 hours showed me the warmth and closeness of a fine family.
