Harold Heil
Harold Heil, 91, of Sun City Center, died April 9, 2015. He was born on April 24, 1923, in Pittsburgh, Pa., the son of William and Amanda Heil. He was raised and educated in Turtle Creek, Pa., and served in the U.S. Army as a Combat Engineer during World War II.
He married Beverly Ann Pratt on October 7, 1951, in Belmont, Mass., and they were together for 62 years until her death last year.
Mr. Heil was a fortunate survivor of both the June 1944 D-Day invasion of Omaha Beach in Normandy, France, as well as the Battle of the Bulge in the Ardennes Forest. His active participation in the war ended in April 1945 at the Elbe River in Germany, where his 295th Battalion met the Russian Army 60 miles from Berlin. His group then went to France, where they built two camps, and he was finally discharged and returned home in December 1945. In June 1994, Mr. Heil was able to attend the 50th reunion in France to commemorate the Normandy landing. And in May 2010, he was privileged to take part in an “Honor Air Flight” to the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., with 120 other veterans. In recent years he’d given talks on his war experience, and last November he served as Grand Marshal of a Tampa area American Legion Veterans Day commemoration.
Mr. Heil worked for many years at Hamilton Standard, a division of United Technologies, in Windsor Locks, Conn. He was their Quality Control Representative in the Midwest, living in Berea, Ohio, for more than 30 years, retiring in 1987. He and his wife moved to Englewood, Fla., in 1991, and to Sun City Center in 2002. He was active in Methodist churches in Berea, Englewood and Sun City Center.
He loved golfing. He played golf for nearly 80 years, from when he started caddying at age 13 in Pittsburgh until his last round just a few months ago.
He also enjoyed being outdoors, traveling, visiting his children and grandchildren, watching football, playing cards, dancing, reading and Sudoku. He liked to cook, and his children loved eating his delicious bouillabaisse when they visited. With his engineering background, he was skilled at fixing just about anything.
Mr. Heil was predeceased by his beloved wife, Beverly, and by his sister and three brothers. He is survived by son Jeffrey Heil and wife Barbara of Westport, Conn.; daughter Dr. Elizabeth Heil of Oviedo, Fla.; son James Heil and wife Lissu Pasila of Lantana, Fla.; daughter Andrea Sand and husband Robert of Woodstock, Vt.; grandchildren Justin and Marissa Heil, Olivia and Jonathan Heil, and Anna Sand; and a number of nieces and nephews.
His children plan to gather for a private memorial service and burial of their parents’ ashes at Sarasota National Cemetery, with military honors for their father.
Arrangements are under the direction of the Sun City Center Funeral Home. Memorial contributions may be made to the American Heart Association and the Salvation Army.
