Daniel "Dan" Hass

Dan was my boss at RAF Upper Heyford, in the UK, in the late 80s. He was a good guy, a talented lawyer, mentor, officer, leader, and friend. He cared about every single person he worked with. He encouraged collegiality and camaraderie. There were office bowling nights at RAF Croughton, (photo below) Christmas Pantomime with the Crowne Prosecution, and the JAG fun run. When a trial ran late and I was holding up the bus ready to go to a medieval dinner theater, Dan held the bus until I...

A good man, gone way too soon. May God comfort his family.

I met Dan in 1991, when he was my boss at the RAF Upper Heyford. We'd always have a 15-minute early morning huddle in his office and it was always collegial. Dan had a light leadership touch and knew how to get the best out of people. He'd come to the bar on Fridays and alway bought a round.

Whenever I held staff meetings, I always channeled my inner Dan Haas and conducted them exactly the same...

Sue,

I just saw the sad news about Dan. My heart breaks for you and the girls. I remember our days at Hill with incredible fondness. You and Dan were always so gracious. I'm deeply saddened about Dan's passing and will lift you and the girls up in prayers.

God Bless you.

As I mentioned to one of my Defense Acquisition University (DAU) colleagues yesterday in an e-mail, I first met Dan when he was serving our nation as a AF civilian lawyer working USAF Int'l Acquisition Programs at NATO. I quickly discovered he was an outstanding guy as well as one of the best DoD int'l acquisition lawyers I've ever had the pleasure to work with. His work at NATO on complex and challenging initiatives such as NATO Alliance Ground Surveillance, NATO C-17 Strategic Airlift...

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY. MAY YOU REST IN PEACE.
