John Heinze Obituary
John worked as a tool designer for Regal Beloit and North American, until his retirement in 2004. He was known for his love of all music and western TV and movies. John and Kendra enjoyed spending their winters in Arizona, in the years following their retirement, where they spent time at the dinner theater and listening to local music. They enjoyed the weather and a little time at the casino.
