David Heimbach
d. July 29, 2014
David Carl Heimbach, 66, of 1855 Wabash Rd., for the past 40 years, passed away on Tuesday, July 29, 2014, at Evangelical Community Hospital, Lewisburg.
He was born October 4, 1947, in Forest Hill, a son of the late Norman and Mildred (Aikey) Heimbach. On May 5, 1990, in Forest Hill, he married the former Dorothy Mae Delsite, who survives.
Dave attended Mifflinburg Area High School.
He served as a private 1st Class in the Army. Following Daves honorable discharge on January 1, 1973, he worked for a brief time at the Milton Steel Mill, before he began his 41 year career at Chef Boyardee/Con-Agra Foods, Milton, where he was still employed at the time of his passing.
Dave was an avid hunter and fisherman. He looked forward to his yearly trips to Quebec, Canada, where he and his brothers and work buddies enjoyed reeling in the biggest pike and wall-eyes. Earlier in life, Dave enjoyed cheering on his son Steve, who played on the Mifflinburg Wildcats football team, and his daughter, Amanda, who played on the State Champion Mifflinburg Wildcats softball team. He loved sitting on the porch with Dot and visiting with friends and family.

He was preceded in death by three brothers, Richard, Leroy, and Harry; three sisters, Jenny, Margaret, and Martha; one brother-in-law, Bob; and one sister-in-law, Shirley.
