Mr. Hegert died.
He was given 6-8 months to live, and four days later he died.
The cancer moved from his lungs, to his lymph nodes, to his brain, then to his spinal cord.
When given 6 months, the cancer then manifested in his heart and he slipped into a coma.
24 hours laster he was gone.
His memorial service was so filled with people you couldn't get a seat.
He was loved, and you can fine his designs and architectural achievements in 4 different states.
He's inspired so many people, and he'll be missed by an entire community.
He lived one of the fullest lives I have ever heard of and I'll miss him a lot.
