He was predeceased by son Martin T. Heavey.

Bart immigrated to Greenwich in the 1950s. He served proudly in the U.S. Army and worked as a milkman before embarking on a long career with the Greenwich Water Co. (now Aquarion). Following retirement, he worked for nearly 20 years at Waterford of Greenwich. A terrific dad, Bart worked multiple jobs so he and wife Debbie could send all five children to Catholic school.
