Dear Lee,

we are writing you on behalf of Peter.

Peter passed away saturday the 28th. He had a sudden heart attack. Though doctors were at the place very fast, there was nothing to do. He died fast and was in no pain, in the arms of a good friend.
He had had a great day together with his family and spent the evening with a good friend, who is also a good friend to us.

As his children we are sure, that this was the best way for Peter to leave this world.
Together with his testament he had written us a letter, where he asked us to write to you, when he one day passed away. The letter also said, that he felt he had had a good life. Traveling the world and having friends all over the world was a big part of this.
Feel free to write us any time.

Sad news indeed. I have two of his pipes and enjoy them often. I will be smoking one of his tonight in his honor.

Very sad news indeed. He was a great carver and his pipes will be missed.

Sad News, as I knew him from shows he was a man of good cheer. He'd always kid me that I got taller and he got shorter every year. RIP

The first (and only) time that I met and conversed with Mr. Heeschen was at a West Coast Pipe Show 4-5 years ago. His English was not very good (but hey, neither is mine), but we somehow hit it off. Great fellow who made heck of nice pipes!

Prayers for his family and friends.
