He was a mentor, a cheerleader, and a constant supporter of his players on and off the field.

He helped shape many young people´s lives and for that so many of us are forever grateful. -Scott...

My deepest condolences to the Hauk family. Coach Hauk was a steadying influence in my years at GMHS in the late 70's and early 80's as both a coach in basketball, baseball and soccer and P.E.class. A genuine person who cared for his students and players.

Linda, so sorry to hear of your loss! May the memories of happy times help you through this difficult time! Thinking of you, your Ashley St School friend. You are in my thoughts and prayers
