I wanted to express my sincere condolences to the family and close friends & associates of 'Mr.H'. Though I never worked with 'Mr.H' he was always a true, kind gentleman every time we crossed paths. He was a wonderful reflection of what Charleston is all about. I am just one of many fortunate to have met him along the way.

Dear Weesie and the Heffron family,

I am so sorry and so sad to hear this news.



I worked for Mr. H in the early 80's at Heffron, Ingle, McDowell and Cooper. He was always such a joy to be around and the absolute love for his wife is what I remember him most for. He talked about Ms. Weesie all the time!



How lucky you are to have had such a kind, loving, warmhearted husband, father and grandfather.



You are all in my prayers during this time and Mr. H, I will miss you! We have lost a wonderful human being, but I know you'll be smiling down on us from Heaven!

Mrs. Heffron, I want to express my deepest sympathy to you and your family. I grew up in St. Andrew's Lutheran Church and remember spending time together at church picnics and the beach...back in the days when the people you went to church with were an extension of your family!
