CHIMACUM — The death of a Quilcene teacher has left two families mourning in Jefferson County.
Terry Heineman died March 10 at his home in Chimacum after leaving Quilcene School early after falling ill.
At 6 p.m., he phoned the school to say it would need to find a substitute for Tuesday morning.
Later in the evening, his wife, Flavia, found him in a chair downstairs. He was dead of a heart attack at the age of 60.
Now both the Heinemans, and the Quilcene students and staff who cared about him, have begun a healing process which is becoming far too familiar for both groups.
