Thomas J. Heckman, 64, formerly of St. Lawrence, passed away after a battle with cancer in his dream place of Florida on August 11, 2017.

He was employed by Wilmington Professional Associates as a Software Engineer/Analyst.

Thomas enjoyed fishing. He was an avid Philadelphia sports teams fan. What mattered most to Thomas, was his family and loved spending time with them. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
