Air Force with the rank of Master Sergeant after 22 years of service. He worked as a meat cutter all his adult life. He and his family went to Belspring to retire and later moved to Fairlawn. He worked 15 years at Teds Market as meat market manager and for Wades Foods in Christiansburg, Dublin, Radford and Pearisburg for several years. He was a member of Fairlawn Baptist Church. Bill never knew a stranger. He liked to joke with people, and someone said the air was so much lighter when he was around. He thought so much of others that when he went to chemo treatments years ago, he always took big candy bars to the nurses. He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Bertha Heineman; sisters, Beverly Allen, Gerry Allen, Virginia Custer and Evelyn Bundy; and brothers, Charles, John, and Richard Heineman.
