Dad...We'll Miss You...73...


Today is a sad day for the Haass Family...Dad passed away this morning with Mari and Mom by his side.

Dad spent years preparing us for this day, but you never really expect it to come. Not to the work horse that helped Mom raise six kids. Not to the genius that taught me about computers. Not to master mind behind chicken gate. Not to the human machine that dug, climbed, painted, built and showed me the meaning of hard work. Yet, it has.

This photo of Dad in 1945, just back from the war with the 3 stars for Grandma Haass' boys in the window, really struck me as a vision of his youth and service to his country.

We love you and miss you, Dad...and in ham radio parlance...73...
