Carl R. Heckert. Sr., 90, of York, passed away peacefully at Providence Place on January 14, 2025. Born in York, he was the son of the late Russel and Leona (Lightner) Heckert.

Most of all, Carl cherished spending time with his grandkids. He was a member of the Shiloh Legion and the Hawks Gunning Club.

Carl is survived by 2 children: Carl R. Heckert, Jr. (Amanda) and Connie A. Heckert, and 3 grandsons: Richard Bass, Jr., Kyle Heckert, and Benjamin Heckert.
