Passing of TCH Member Karl Heckler

It is with great sadness we report the passing of long time TCH member, Karl Heckler of Goal Post Advertising. He was actively involved in TCH and chaired the Welfare Committee.

Karl’s service will take place at Houston National Veterans Cemetery on January 28 at 10:30am. More information will be posted on the TCH website when it becomes available.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Karl’s family and friends. He will be greatly missed.

Sincerely,

Cris Lara
