I miss you as much as the day you died so hard to believe you have been in Heaven for a year now!
Watch over me my friend!😘

I knew the Heilman family well. Jeff was always an irascible rascal. We were polar opposites politically but we always had great conversations, I am stunned and saddened to learn of his passing.

Dear JP,
          We were just talking with you on Barrister Court and reminiscing about your dad, and his convertible, and how much we appreciated everything he did for Coopertown.  We are so sorry for your loss.  Please extend our condolences to your mom and Amanda  and the rest of the family.

Sincerely,
       The Solano's

Jeff was a kind, sensitive and humorous soul. He was a part of our family for many years and we will always treasure the fond memories. Amanda and JP, you have a wonderful father and always cherish the memories and all the attributes he bestowed on you.  He certainly left behind a wonderful presence that now this world will miss but will never be forgotten.  He was most certainly one of the good ones.  We are grateful we were fortunate to have you in our lives, Jeff.  Our love to you and yours, The Obedins.

So sorry to hear of the passing of our former Haverford Twp. 5th  Ward Commissioner, we extend to the family our deepest sympathy during this difficult time of grief and lament, and  please know that we remember you all in our continued prayers.

So sad to hear the news about Jeff Heilmann. 

My memory of Jeff begins as Villanova (DTD) pledges together. In general, Jeff was always so positive about life. Every day he would humor us all by spilling a fact or figure in conversations about Villanova basketball and football recruits, Philadelphia Sports teams, or his high school favorites from Malvern Prep.  

Jeff has been in and out of my life for over 40 years but always there for a friendly conversation or a fun time when do get together at a basketball game.

There are so many stories about Jeff and his generosity to friends and everyone in his life.  He was always willing to help someone in need. 

He would do anything for a friend or stranger alike. Jeff is the original  "best friend to everyone". 

We will miss his smiling presence when attending future Villanova games.....and say a prayer for him every time we do.      

JP and Amanda,

I am so very sorry for your loss. Your father was a genuinely good man who taught me so much. 

When I was a young kid who wanted to get involved in politics, he graciously served as my mentor. Some of the fondest memories I hold are my times in the campaign trail with your father, or working at the polls on election day with him, joking around and making fun of eachother whenever we had the chance, and driving around the neighborhood just as night set in to see which street lights in the 5th ward needed fixing. 

He didnt just teach me about politics. He taught me about how to be a good man and a kind person and, most importantly, to never be afraid to speak truth to power. Finally, despite being such a busy person, he frequently took the time to check in to make sure I was doing well in school and in life.

I will forever be thankful for having known him and for having him as a role model. 

I cant imagine the pain you both are experiencing now. I pray that you can find some comfort in seeing how many people's lives he had a positive impact on. 

God Bless,

James Laughlin
