Clinton Howard Heinrich

Clinton grew up in Schulenburg and Port Lavaca, Texas, attending Calhoun High School and Victoria Junior College. Clinton served in the US Navy for 4 years, stationed mainly on the USS Guam (LPH-9). He met the love of his life, Linda Boenisch, at the wedding of her cousin and his close family friend. Clinton and Linda were married in May 1978 and made Austin their home. They recently celebrated their 46th wedding anniversary. Clinton worked several jobs, mostly in electrical sales and purchasing, before finding a job he loved working in purchasing and providing inventory support to staff of Ascension Seton Hospital where he worked until retirement.

Clinton enjoyed woodworking, painting, drawing, gardening, playing washers and watching UT and Dallas Cowboy football, but most of all spending time with his grandchildren, who he adored. You could often find him at his backyard grill cooking up a feast for family and friends. Clint and Linda enjoyed many camping trips in their 5th wheel trailer, visiting Canada and the East and West Coasts of the USA (and everywhere in between). They would often meet up with or travel with friends and their camping club.

Clinton is survived by his wife of 46 years, Linda Boenisch Heinrich, son, Christopher Heinrich and wife Juliana of Lago Vista, Texas; daughter Jennifer West and husband Christopher of Kyle, Texas; three grandchildren, Aubree “Pearl” West, Easton Joseph West and Alex Streeter-West; as well as his siblings Gary Heinrich and Dona Heinrich who live in Schulenberg TX.
