John J. "Jack" Haughney III

To this day thinking about Jack there’s still an empty feeling in me I probably will never get over. There’s some sadness when I think about Jack and the fact that he is not here then I see his legacy in his children and realize what a great job this man along with Mary Lou did in his short time on earth.

Not many days go by that you are not thought of or on our minds. Occasionally a story is told of a memory of working together or a funny occurrence or one of those great trips we took together. You will never be forgotten and I will always think of you as my brother, the brother that I miss so much. Times are tough right now and even tougher without you to talk to. I know that you would have encouraged us all to look at the brighter things in life.

The 10 years that we all have been missing you has not diminished the pain of your loss. Your name still comes up quite often and you are fondly remembered by all who ever had the good fortune to know you. I'm so honored to have worked alongside you in the PFD and especially to be part of your family whom we both adore. All is well but you are surely missed and I will never forget you my brother.

MaryLou & Family,
I just found out about Jack's passing. I send my deepest sympathy to all of you. God Bless all of you.
Love, Denise & Matthew DuBan

Dear Mary Lou, Denise, Rosemary, Maureen, John & Michael: It has truly been a pleasure having Jack as a friend & neighbor these past 21 years. Jack will always hold a very special place in my heart. I will always feel privileged having known Jack. Mary Pat & I want to express our heart felt sympathy to all of you.
Sincerely, Ken & Mary Pat Baxter

When I Must Leave You
by Helen Steiner Rice

When I must leave you
for a little while,
Please do not grieve
and shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow
to you through the years,
But start out bravely
with a gallant smile;
And for my sake
and in my name
Live on and do
all the things the same,
Feed not your loneliness
on empty days,
But fill each waking hour
in useful ways,...

Marylou,Denise,Rosemary,Maureen, John and Michael,

What an honor it was to have served in the P.F.D. with Jack Haughney. He was a brave, tough career firefighter who loved the challanges and rewards of our noble profession; It was a privilege to have worked by his side. Above all else, Jack was a great husband and father, who adored his wife and family, and was in turn, loved by all of us who were lucky enough to share in his happy life. Jeannie and I will think of you often...

Jack Haughney was a beautiful man and I miss Jack. Jack was a great Son, Husband, Father, Brother, Nephew, Friend and Firefighter. The pride and love that was written all over His face when he spoke of his wife Marylou, His children Denise, Rosemary, Maureen John & Mike. I will miss breakfast at the dinner. The rides in his jeep just driving around because that what Jack loved. The rides to get coffee and it had to be dunkin donuts coffee and not just any dunkin donuts it had to be the right...

To the Haughney's,
Thank you for considering me a part of your family, I love you's all. Mr. Haughney was one of the best friends I ever had and I will forever miss him.
Love,
Tommy
