They fell in love and within a short few years, they were parents to Elaine Marie (Purdy) Heissler, Leslie Robert Purdy and Andrew Norman Purdy and later became a proud grandfather to his grandson Ian Gregory Heissler. He loved his family more than anything in the world and was always there when they needed him.
