Tim Heaney, world traveler and attorney, dies at 74 Erin Adler, Star Tribune
Tim Heaney was a student of the world, traveling to remote jungles in New Guinea when few others dared and planning family trips to communist China rather than Disney World. He enjoyed meeting the locals and he enjoyed the history, said son Mark Heaney. It was important to him that we have a worldly view of other cultures.
Heaney died of Parkinson s disease complications Dec. 31 at a Roseville assisted-living facility, after previously living in Falcon Heights. He was 74.
Born in 1946, Heaney was the second of Richard and Mary Ann Heaney s six children. He was born in Anoka, but his large Catholic family moved around, spending most of Heaney s childhood in Washington, D.C., because of his father s job as the assistant director of the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
