This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Harald "Kris" Heggenhougen, 80, born on April 24th, 1940 and passed away on August 12th, 2020. He is always with us.
One of his favorite one liners was: The wounded oyster heals itself with pearl (author unknown). Let us take the pain of his passing and turn it into a pearl of love and compassion that we offer to the world and each other in his honor.
Rest in peace

Kris was a worthy, a mensch. He will be sorely missed. The last time we spoke, we cried together at the sudden death of our dear friend, my late ex husband, Duncan Pedersen . They were like brothers. Kris was in his element at night discussing the world over drinks and a meal, followed by some crazy dance moves. Rest In Peace, amigo. My condolences to Anna, and the whole family.
Kris represented all that is good in this world. The moments spent with him, his humor, his compassion, his knowledge and his warmth are all permanently etched in my heart. He will be missed.
Kris my great father was a treasure , this made him a hero while alive and so he remains even in death.
I will always turn every last of the memories, the Cal phone conversations into lasting memories.
In my ?? you will always love.
Janet lives with you.
