Celebrating the life of
Hal Heidmann
October 12, 1946 - March 23, 2014
Harold Hal L. Heidmann 67, died Sunday, March 23, 2014 at Memorial Medical Center after suffering cardiac arrest. He was born October 12, 1946 to Gerd & Dorothea Heidmann in Detroit Michigan. Hal graduated from Waite HS in Toledo, OH and Capitol University in Columbus, OH. In 1968 he joined the US Army, commissioned an Officer in 1969 and was a veteran of the Vietnam War.
After leaving the military in 1971, his career has been in various Retail Management capacities most recently working over 20 years with Checkers Drive-In Restaurants.
Surviving are his wife of 35 years, Terri Heidmann of Savannah; his daughter Jennifer Maddux Michael and granddaughters Savannah and Catherine Maddux all of Dunwoody, GA. He is also survived by his mother, Dorothea Heidmann of Savannah, sister Jeanette Heidmann Steve of Jackson, NH and brother Tim Heidmann Julia of Los Altos, CA as well as many other extended family members.
Hal was a longtime, active member of The Lutheran Church of the Redeemer on Wilmington Island. He faithfully served in many capacities over the years including Church Council President. Hal touched many lives at Redeemer and will be greatly missed.
Hal was a very loving and devoted son, husband, father and grandfather lovingly referred to as "Pop-Pop" by granddaughters that adored him. He was held in high esteem and quietly left his mark with everyone that knew him and did it all with a quick wit that surprised most.
The memorial service will be held on April 6th at 4:00 PM at Lutheran Church of the Redeemer at 51 Wilmington Island Road, Savannah Georgia 31410 followed by a reception in the church social hall. In lieu of flowers, please direct memorials in Hal's name to The Lutheran Church of the Redeemer or Hospice of Savannah.
My heart and prayers goes out to my sister, Hal truly was the love of her life and best friend. To me Hal was a loving, generous, smart, quiet man that loved her with all his heart and I loved him for that. Hal was funny and I will miss the games of draw something with me, since I live so far away this was a way we kept in touch. I don't think I ever let him know that I loved him and what he meant to this family but I know that he hears me now in my thoughts and prayers. Our family will miss him very much.
