By Chuck Benson, Group Delegate, Lake Erie Group; Vice Chair, Newsletter Committee
Tom Hiegel, a true champion of our environment, left us on March 1, 2025. Tom served on the Lake Erie Groups' Executive Board for over 20 years. He loved sharing his knowledge of the outdoors as an Outings Leader. Tom led several outings in the Erie area and across Pennsylvania, including a state chapter meeting in Chapman Dam State Park. Tom was big-hearted, had a positive and optimistic outlook on life, and deeply cared about our environment. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
