Owner of Heller’s Gas dies
Paul Gardner, owner of Heller’s Gas, died on May 18 at the age of 64. He had been battling brain cancer for about a year.

Heller’s Gas now has nine branches in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Gardner served for many years on the Pennsylvania Propane Gas Association board of directors.
Gardner’s three sons – Joe Gardner, John Gardner and Paul Gardner Jr. – are all involved in the business. Paul Jr. is set to take over the reins of the company.
