  Clyde Heckner, age 85, died peacefully on Tuesday afternoon December 24th at St. Paul Home with his loving family at his side. Clyde was born May 11, 1928 son of the late Fred and Mary (Merkel) Heckner. Clyde had a passion for taking care of his loving wife Mary Lou, whom he married on October 9, 1956. Together they enjoyed 56 years of marriage and raised two wonderful sons, Kenneth and Raymond. Clyde loved all sports, especially football. He was a big Packers and Badgers fan. He enjoyed following his grandchildren's activities whether it was football on Friday nights to music recitals and concerts at grade school and college.

In his time at St. Paul Home Clyde could be found nearly every Friday morning participating in the weekly sing-along with residents. He worked at American Can in Neenah, retiring after 46 years in 1990. He was active in the U.S. Army Reserve, receiving an honorable discharge after 8 years of service. Clyde was an active and faithful member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Appleton. Clyde's compassion and gentleness will be sadly missed by his children, Kenneth (Faye) Heckner and their children, Craig and Jenny Heckner; Raymond (Patty) Heckner and their children, Melissa and Justin Moore and Clinton Heckner and his fiancée Kate Mongin. He was preceded in death by his wife Mary Lou, his parents, two sisters, Eileen (Glen) Burt, Janice (Clyde) Voster and a brother Charles (Lois) Heckner. He is further survived by a sister-in-law, Geraldine (Arnie) VanHandel, a brother-in-law, Richard (Marylyn) Kohl, two sisters-in-law, Ellen Kohl and Lorraine Kohl, as well as several nieces and nephews.
