Jack M. Heligman, August 15, 2024

Jack Mitchell Heligman sadly passed away on August 15, 2024. Jack married the love of his life, the late Marsha Sue Paster, in 1962, with whom he remained until her passing over 61 years later. He leaves behind children Jodi Flieger, Jamee Heligman, and Mark Heligman; daughter-in-law Kimberlie Heligman; and grandchildren Sophia, Grace, and Will, all of whom loved and respected him immensely.

Jack was born on December 23, 1938, to the late Nathan Heligman and the late Anna Schevack.  His older brother, the late Martin Heligman, and older sister, the late Florine Kay, doted over Little Jackie.  After Jack graduated from University City High School in 1956, he continued his education earning an engineering degree from Washington University.  He went on to serve two years in the Army, stationed at Fort Lewis in Washington State.

After spending 40 years in the machine tool industry, Jack retired in 2005 to spend time with his wife, children, and grandchildren, who brought him his greatest joy.  The close-knit family relished their dinners together and vacationing in Florida and other tropical destinations.  He will be forever missed!
