Fond farewell, Colonel: Creswell’s ‘local hero’ leaves legacy of service, kindness

CRESWELL – If you were to Google the phrase “A life well lived,” it’s unlikely that Richard Heyman’s profile would pop up.
It would make perfect sense, though, if it did.
Because Col. Richard “Dick” Michael Heyman Jr., who died Sunday, Jan. 25 at the age of 101, checked off all the boxes.
Service to his country: Few have done it better than Dick, who was a fighter pilot in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, flying 342 missions and winning a Silver Star, a Bronze Star, and countless other honors along the way. But while others may have viewed his 32 years of service as the ultimate sacrifice, Heyman didn’t see it that way. “I was just doing my job,” he said on more than one occasion, “and I had the best job in the world.”
