Recently we lost a good man, friend and member of our industry, Mark Heinemann. His smile and good cheer will be sorely missed by all those that knew him.
Mark was a little older than me, but I can remember Mark all the way back to our elementary school fifth grade camp trip to Occidental. Mark was a counselor the year that we went.
In recent years, I would enjoy talking with Mark about new barrels for the year or joining him and the team at Demptos for one of their events. The vibe was always warm and welcome.
Mark was a good man, whose life was cut short far too soon. We’ll keep Mark and his family in our thoughts and send them all the positive energy we can to help them through this difficult time.
Hi Chris,
It is amazing how many lifes Mark touched. Mark was a dear friend of a friend of mine at the Mosel (Germany) and this is how I met Mark… Because of Mark’s warm and welcoming nature, I was able to take my co-workers twice to Demptos to show them the barrel making process. Several times a year I ran into Mark at local events and he always had a smile on his face. He will be greatly missed by many of us!
