David Hearn, Jr.

Dear David, Donald, Doug, Daniel and Cynthia,
I am so sorry to hear about your Dad! I know he is at peace now...and my prayers and thoughts are with you and your families!

Mr Hearn, my boss, my friend, "my dad". no words can or will ever express the loss and emptiness i feel today. i know it gets easier, but you tought me some of the very things i do today. and because of you i can pull my weight, with all thesse guys. hopefully my department has figured out that when i ask them a question i already know it. lol. our long talks, the paper balls going across my desk, the phone calls to daniel to find out where he was. there is sust so much that can be sad, but some that i would rather keep between us. 10 years of Tour of de Deli means we had 10-years of great lunch talks. i have missed that for a long time. you and your family or my family. the generosity through the years to your employees can be touched by no one. boys and cindy, please know that if you need anything day or night, just call me, i am there. your family has always been great to mine. i love you all for that and more

he is at peace and looked pretty durn good, he will forever be missed but NEVER FORGOTTEN. he is ALWAYS in my HEART, i love you dad. good night, and sleep with ease with the angels.

Pops,
You are the one that gave me my my first job in this business. I will miss you and really appreciate all that you did for me and my family. I remember all the funny times we had together and even the rough times we had which has been a part of making me who I am today a better man than what i was before. God Bless!

Sorry for your loss

I am very sorry for the family's loss of a father and friend to many. I didn't know Mr. Hearn but know he instilled good strong christian values into Doug. I am sure that his leadership in the family though the years will help everyone through the the earthly sorry but heaven's gain. Exodus 15:2
“ The LORD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation; This is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will extol Him.
Exodus 15:1-3 (in Context)

Will greatly miss my number one boss. We all had some great times. Remember all the experiences working the flower & herb garden at his museum and all the rides on the mine sweepers. I know I will see him again because I know he is with the Lord the same Lord that he recognized annually at every company Christmas lunch.

Daniel and all the family..we are truely sorry for the loss of your dad...He is at peace now and no more distress ..We are praying for the family at this time..

I am so sorry to be reading this now. I know things have been difficult for awhile. I hope that you all will find peace in knowing that you all did everything possible to make your father comfortable and at peace. He left this earth with the knowledge that his legacy would continue through his children. You have made him proud! May God be with each of you and your children through these most difficult times. I love you all! Mary Hager

Pops,
It is with great sadness that I learned today of your passing. There are no words to express my feelings other than to say thank you. Over these 40 years that I have been an "adopted" son I have experienced a lifetime of memories. I often reflect on the antics we pulled and wonder how we survived it all. Over the years I have heard people say they tensed up when you would walk out into the shop or went into a meeting but those of us who knew realized that the time to be scared was when you reached into your shirt pocket and pulled out that calculator...something was about to change!
Of all the things I will remember and keep with me all my life is the understanding you gave us that we could do more than we thought we could. As kids we were expected to pull our weight and then some. As an adult I try to set that example in all that I do.
From the broken props to the flat tires on the airboat to 84 feet up a tower thank you Pops for the memories of a lifetime.

Andy

Our prayers are with you and your family at this time just remember God is with you all.
