Arrangements to Celebrate the Life of Jack Heise

Jack HeiseMr. Heise, a semi-retired attorney from Bethesda, Md., was married to Jackie Mosey Morley Heise ’49, a former Terp cheerleader. Both were honored with the University  of Maryland Alumni Association’s Spirit of Maryland Award in 2006.

As an undergrad, Heise was manager of the basketball team. He was a past president of the M Club; the Terrapin Club; the Maryland Alumni Association and the Maryland Educational Foundation. He also served on the board of the University of Maryland, College Park Foundation.

Heise attended all home and away football and basketball games, and all women’s home basketball games. In addition, he was often a fixture at on-campus events such as field hockey, lacrosse and volleyball.

Heise missed only three ACC basketball tournament games since 1946. “I’m a fervent fan and it’s a major part of our life,”  he was fond of saying, “That’s why I got the name ‘Mr. Maryland.’"
