Memories and Condolences
for Fred Heitmann

Not sure what to say?

I offer my deepest sympathy and prayers to the family of Mr Heitmann. My memories go back to 1986 when I began my journey with the Lane Bank family and Northwest National Bank. As recently as a few months ago, passing and speaking to Mr Heitmann in the halls at Northbrook, it was remarkable that he remembered me over all of this time. It was always a pleasant interaction when speaking with Mr Heitmann. I felt a void in hearing this news while waiting for him to pass the classroom today at Northbrook. God bless the family and friends of Mr. Heitmann.
