I have not seen you in years but it makes me so sad you were so young to leave this Earth so soon you will be missed RIP my friend Jim.

Very sorry for your loss. Jim was always so lovable.

We extend our sincerest condolences to the family of Officer Heise for their loss. Those who worked with Jimmy knew him not only as a leader and protector, but also a friend. Jimmy will be deeply missed by all of his colleagues, and remembered for his courage, compassion, and willingness to help in times of need. Rest easy Brother.

My deepest condolences to the Heise family. I watched Jimmy personally help so many people on the job including myself. Jimmy always did everything he could to help anyone. He cared for everyone like they were part of his family. My sympathy goes out to his family and loved ones. Jimmy will be deeply missed. Thank you for all that you did for me Jimmy. God bless you and your family.

I’m so so sorry for your loss. My prayers go out to the family.

To the Heise family, I want to say that I sadly understand your grief, as I lost my father to Covid-19 this past year. He had dementia, and was one of many who got ravaged by this horrible disease, while he was in a nursing home.
My oldest son Brendan, played his first year of township basketball under the gentle, and friendly guidance of Jim’s coaching. He taught my son a great deal, and for that, he continued playing basketball all throughout high school, and whenever the courts beckon.
I used to think that Jim was going to need something surgically removed from his hand. At every sports function, where he was watching his kids play, that video recorder was always in use. I would imagine that there is a bit of commentary to each game, and that his family will highly covet, that which was recorded in video, and in audio.
I remember a game during my son’s first year of basketball, that was a nail biter and Jim got a technical foul. The other team scored some free throws and won the game. Jim was just fighting for his players. He put his head down and I could hear him say that the loss was his fault. He told the kids that, because he felt bad for how hard they worked. One could tell that it bothered him, but that team won the Jamboree that year, if I am not mistaken, and coach made it a great experience.

Coaching with Jim was one of the best times. The kids absolutely loved him. He made everything fun. One if the nicest people you could ever meet. He will be missed. My prayers go out to his family.

Jimmy the battle is over !! You gave it a hell of fight !! I never got to meet your wife and kids they sound like great family !! I know your missed !! Love you ,cousin Cathy oxox I’m praying for you all !! God bless

Jim, how can we look out our windows and not think of you. Having you as a friend/neighbor was truly a blessing. We miss seeing you outside - mowing your lawn (especially when it was dark out and you had to use several headlights!), listening to your rock-n-roll music in your car, hanging out with Boomer, always working on your cars, decorating, always busy.... The rides you gave to and from practices and the encouragement you always gave will never be forgotten. Our daily hellos and conversations are so missed by all of us and will be for a long time to come. The street just isn’t the same without you. Couldn’t have asked for a better friend and neighbor.

Rest In Peace brother. Thank you for your service. Please keep watch above and we’ll take it over down here.

Beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing the memories with his friends in the community. We will miss him and will keep his beautiful family in prayer

Dearest Bett and family,
I am so very saddened to hear of your great loss. May God bless you with his strength to walk you through this painful path as we as mothers struggle to understand “why”. Many beautiful memories of Jim will forever live on in the hearts of all those that had the honor of knowing him.

Any person that "wears" blue is a friend of mine. May he rest a while, because he deserves it. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family, friends, and felloe officers. He will be in "Heaven" to lead and organize the "troops" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jim and I worked many years together. He was a good and reliable friend I always looked up too. Up to his retirement I tried to take a some time out to go hang out with him over at the “W”. He talked often about the love for his kids and family. I will always cherish his friendship. Gone to soon. God speed Jim

My heart broken the loss of a brother & friend. Jimmy helped so many officers and always cared with his heart. To his children your father was always talking about how proud he was of you nothing ever made him happier. Thank you all for sharing Jimmy with us his family was his world and I will always honor him because in 25 years I can count on one hand how many people I called a friend on this job. God Bless you all & I am deeply sorry for your loss.

Jim you’ll be sorely missed by every one who ever met you. RIP. My friend

Mr. Heise was one of the nicest, most helpful person you could meet. My father always knew he was one of the coaches who truly cared about his players and all the kids. He always had time to stop and say hello when I was working at JMT, even if it was just a quick conversation. CYB lost another great one who touched so many lives. His family is in my thoughts and prayers.

This Tournament will be dedicated in his honor forever. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Heise Family. So sorry, We will miss you Jim. The Watson Family.!

Jim, I always looked to you to lift my spirits. Every time I think of you I just have to laugh. Nobody had a bigger heart and you lived your life to your own drumbeat, we all loved you for that. You are truly the stalwart of this family and you will be forever missed.

We just want to express my condolences to all that knew this incredible man! Our hearts are so heavy and we are sending so much love & many prayers to Cheryl, Amanda, Jimmy, Jake & Joey. We were so blessed to know Jim for the years we loved in mantua. He will never be forgotten! Forever in our hearts. ❤Xo

The world has lost an incredible person, he was always there to dust you off and pick you up. To know Jim was to love him and you were better for it. RIP my brother, I’ll see you on the other side. Eternal love
