Leslie Eugene Heinz was born 8 March 1920 in Matchwood, Ontonagon, Michigan.

His parents are Frank Heinz, Jr. and Mary Louise Higgins.

His siblings are Floyd Leonard, Inez Marie, Carol June and Lyle Lyle Heinz. He also had a half-brother George John Weyenberg, Jr.

When he was about 18 months old, his father died. His mother married George Weyenberg and they heard that "good farm land" was available near Harbor Springs, so they moved to Harbor Springs, Michigan.  They lived on Spring Street in a house across from Fred Main's house. The Heinz family next moved out to a fruit farm on a road towards Cross Village.

When he was eleven his mother passed away. When he was about fifteen, Les joined the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps.), he worked in the Upper Peninsula planting trees during the summer. He sent most his earnings back home to help get through the Depression years.

Les married Donna Joanne Price on her Graduation day from High School, Friday, June 13th, 1941. Being Friday the 13th they did all the things which are supposed to cause bad luck: they walked under a ladder, broke a mirror, walked in front of a black cat and opened an umbrella inside a house.

Their children are: Joanne Marie, Donald L., Katherine Eileen, and Debra Elizabeth Heinz.

Les joined the Army-Air Force in WWII, his job was to string telephone wires in India, and China for the servicemen. In letters to home, Les spoke of the poor Chinese people and of a nice family with twin daughters who adopted him.  His letters always mentioned his love and loyalty to Donna and he wanted to be kept up on his children's progress. He had malaria and became very sick in India.
