Since leaving the army Mr. Heipel had been suffering from a weak heart and last February had a stroke from which he rallied considerably. Early Saturday a relapse set in and his death occurred in the evening of the same day. He is survived by his wife, one daughter, Lorraine, seven years, and one son Raymond, four years, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Heipel of Waterloo, two sisters, Mrs. Helmuth Wagner, 25 Gordon Avenue, Kitchener and Mrs. Floyd Getling of New Dundee.
