He was born in Duluth, Minnesota to William Heimbaugh, Sr. and Jean McDonald. He was the oldest of four children. He owned an insurance claims business for most of his career and retired early to Florida where he built a life that he loved. He enjoyed boating and became very active in the Power Squadron where he served as Captain and logged countless hours of volunteer work. He found love with Caroline Bargren and they built a life on the water surrounded by friends. He was a loving father and grandfather.
