Richard Charles Haas

Been thinking of Ricardo again this week. On 10/10 it will be 7 years since his passing from this earth. We talk about him often - he email messages still pop up in topic searches and he was funny. We still remember you. Alan and Colin

Another year - it was 6 years today, my friend Ricardo left this earth. What a great guy - still miss him. Alan Miller

Hard to believe that on 10/10 it will have been 5 years since Ricardo passed from this life. Colin and I still talk about him regularly in our business discussions at Vortex - and regularly, I come across his words of wisdom, often with his wistful sense of humor. He lives on, in the lives of the many people he influenced.

I am proud to call him my friend - and recall all the blessings he so completely shared with everyone he met. For his family and friends - remember the light...

I heard the name Haas today and its sparked some old memories. I got to know Richard when we attended Cullen JH in Corpus Christi. I moved from Corpus after our junior year at Ray but I did run into him at A&M. I have told my children several time about Richard; his smile, laugh and "go for it" attitude. He IS a certified inspiration.

Richard Haas was married to my sister Laura Haas. My husband, Lavell, and I spent so much time with him and Laura during holidays and family vacations. Our kids grew up together. Some of our favorite times were at his family ranch in Colorado where we rode horses, helped pull calves in the spring and explored the 50,000 acre ranch that included covered wagon tracks on the Santa Fe trail. Richard loved family, hunting and the oil business. Several years after Richard passed my sister...

Four years have passed, but Richard's influence continues strong. We miss him in our business organization for sure, but I also remember him fondly as a friend .

Often in our work meetings one of us will ask, "What would Richard think?" Thankful to have known the man; thankful for his influence still.
