Richard “Rick” Lee Heisey, 66, of Winchester, VA, transitioned to the next step of his journey on Wednesday, February 7, 2018. Rick was born in 1951 in Hershey, PA, to the late Jacob and Fannie Heisey, as the fifth of their seven children.
Rick graduated from Lower Dauphin High School in 1969 (Hummelstown, PA) and Messiah College in 1973 (Grantham, PA) and has worked at numerous places in Pennsylvania, Indiana and Virginia. He started his first woodworking business in 1981. He is known in the Winchester area and beyond as a master wood craftsman. Rick enjoyed hiking the Appalachian Trail, gardening, and sailing his little sailboat as times to worship. Spending time with his family and watching his nephew play professional baseball were great loves of his. He was very supportive of C-CAP, where he volunteered his services any way he could. Rick was a member of a men’s Bible study group for over 20 years. Rick was a loving husband, father, brother, and grandfather who will be missed.
Rick married Nancy Stoner on December 28, 1974 in Harrisburg, PA and they have two sons, Jared and Matthew (Brittney) of Winchester, VA; four grandchildren, Jayden, Rozlyn, Titan and Liam Heisey of Winchester, VA; brothers, J. Ray Heisey (Mim) of Orrstown, PA and James D. Heisey (Gloria) of Manheim, PA; and sisters, Shirley A. Frymire of Abilene, KS, Marilyn H. Byer (Eldon) of Tillsonburg, ON, and Carol J. White (John) of Oak Harbor, WA; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Rick was preceded in death by his brother, Craig N. Heisey and his niece, Victoria Heisey.
A gathering of family and friends will be from 5 pm to 7 pm on Saturday, February 10, 2018 at Omps Funeral Home, Amherst Chapel, 1600 Amherst Street, Winchester, VA, 22601. Services will be held at 2:30 pm on Sunday, February 11, 2018 at Calvary Church of the Brethren, 578 Front Royal Pike, Winchester, VA, 22602. Since Rick was a casual, come-as-you-are kind of person, casual will be acceptable and recommended.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Congregational Community Action Program (CCap), 112 S. Kent Street, Winchester, VA 22601.

Nancy so very sorry about Rick. He is at peace now but that leaves the family and friends behind to grieve. Thinking of all of you and praying for peace and comfort.

I worked with Rick years ago at Lester Buildings. I knew him to be a good man, good father and good friend. He was an honest person of good character and always had a smile on his face. We fell out of touch after he left which is what happens in life. I was out of town when I got the news and was unable to attend service but my heart goes out to his family and the people who new him better than me.
Mark left a message on February 13, 2018:
My deepest condolences to the family. I worked with Rick in the late 1990s, he was a good guy.

My thoughts and prayers to the Heisey family. Rick was the first person to welcome me to the Toastmasters Club 25 years ago.
Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

I will miss walking the challenges of life with my soulmate Rick. Our lives have paralleled so often and he was always there for me. Thank you Heisey family for making me feel a part of your family.

Nancy and Family, Ricky and I are shocked and saddened by this news. We are so sorry for your loss. Rick was a great man, always greeting you with a smile. Please accept our sincere condolences.
Naomi Stambaugh left a message on February 8, 2018:
The picture I posted is only one memory I have of Rick & Joe working together on one project or another. Rick made two of the three bookshelves in my study. Joe would help Rick with electrical wiring in both of his Winchester shops. They were 10 years and days apart in age and Rick joined Joe in heaven 6 months and days after Joe. Seems fitting to me that these two who met when Rick & Nancy moved to Winchester are together again!
Mark Cochran left a message on February 8, 2018:
Rick was a great person. Always gave his best and had a passion for life, guided by his deep abiding faith in Christ, his personal Lord and Savior. He is now enjoying eternity in the presence of Christ!
