Norman E. Heine, known as Pete Heine (born December 4, 1928), is a Democratic former mayor of the East Baton Rouge Parish city of Baker, located east of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, having served from 1964 to 1976 and again from 1981 to 1992. Heine (pronounced HINEY) was the president of the Louisiana Municipal Association from 1967 to 1968.
Heine is the son of the Reverend A. Charles Heine (1900-1976) and the former Edna Cook (1902-1974), who are interred at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens and Mausoleum in Baker. Charles Heine was a Baptist minister who helped to organize two churches in the Baton Rouge area and was the pastor of several others. An active layman in his denomination, Pete Heine was named in 2008 as the "Peoples Health Champion" in recognition of those over sixty-five who perform exceptional community service. In Heine’s case, he was honored for having coordinated the construction of a church in the Leland community.
Heine was born in Baton Rouge and attended public schools there before enrolling at the defunct Jefferson Military College in Washington, Mississippi. He served in the United States Air Force from 1948-1952 as a staff sergeant, having participated in the Berlin Airlift and later served as crew chief on an F-86 Sabre jet.
Heine is the widower of the former Georgia Lea Pilcher (September 2, 1926–December 12, 2006), a pianist at the First Baptist Church of Baker. He was the father of Steven Kerry Heine (1956-2002) and wife Mary Strahan Heine and four surviving children: Kathryn Earn Heine Overfield, herself a piano teacher in Zachary in East Baton Rouge Parish; Charles Norman "Chuck" Heine, George Lee Heine, and James Donald "Scooter" Heine. A Heine grandson, Steven Heine, II, died in 2016 at the age of thirty-four.
