Condolences

Dear Ms. Heacock and Family,

We would like to extend our sympathy in the lost of Mr. Heacock. Mr. Heacock was not only a well respected boss of my father, Olza Nicely, but also considered a special friend. I have spoken often to others about the times we shared on the Cowpasture River and rabbitt hunting together. Mr. Heacock always excelled in his endeavors. I can remember him playing pinball for thirty minutes once, only to watch me lose the game within seconds. I was not surprised to read about his achievements in golf. I will always have fond memories of our times together. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time.

Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Nicely
Roanoke/Clifton Forge
