William C. Heming Sr., 77Career Coast Guard officer and Reservist, staff member of engineering firm, devoted husband and family man
William C. Heming Sr., 77, a retired Coast Guard captain, died Thursday, Feb. 16, 2017, surrounded by family, after a brief battle with cancer.
Born in Philadelphia, he lived in 13 states and two countries growing up as the son of a naval officer. He was very proud of obtaining the rank of life scout with the BSA.
Coming from a family with 15 generations of military service, he graduated from the US Coast Guard Academy with his B.S. in engineering in 1962. It was while at the Academy that he met the love of his life, Beverly. They were married in March 1963.
William proudly served as an officer with the US Coast Guard for over 25 years. When he left active duty, he became bridge administrator for the 3rd Coast Guard District. He continued serving with the USCG Reserve.
He was semi-retired from Parsons Engineering at the time of his death. He received a medal for bravery when he climbed down from a bridge tower into the pit below to save a fallen engineer.
He loved traveling and spent the past several years taking extended cruises around the world with his wife, Beverly. He was a devoted father who could be counted on for anything. He loved spending time with his grandchildren. He was an expert marksman who was once asked to join the Olympics rifle team. William was an active parishioner of St. John's Lutheran Church, having served as congregational president and head elder for several terms.
William is survived by his beloved wife of almost 54 years, Beverly; loving children, Kimberly and William Jr.; adored grandchildren, Kayleigh, William III, Ryan and Hunter Jr., and siblings, David and Patricia.
Visitation is Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. and Monday from 7 to 9 p.m. at Harmon Funeral Home. Funeral service is on Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. at St. John's Lutheran Church. Interment will follow at Moravian Cemetery.
