Jeri, your Dad is still missed by the 2ndRSM troops that served with him in Germany. We will never forget all he did to make our Return Trip to Germany in 2001. We were a group of 18 Old timers from 49-52 that returned to Darmstadt Germany for a 50th Anniversary reunion. We still talk about all the work he did for us. RIP Kent

Kent arrived in Darmstadt as I was departing. Never had a chance to work with him but have seen many of his contributions to the Darmstadt - Augsburg link. We will all miss his verbal and artistic genius. Condolences to the Haaven family.

As an Air Force brother, I just wanted to add my condolences to the guest book. While Kent and I never actually met, we knew each other through a web site reserved for former veterans. The work Kent did in the Air Force contributed immeasurably to the United States prevailing in the Cold War. Rest in Peace, my brother.

The Rose Beyond The Wall
A rose once grew where all could see,
sheltered beside a garden wall,
...And as the days passed swiftly by,
it spread its branches, straight and tall...
...
One day, a beam of light shone through
a crevice that had opened wide
The rose bent gently toward its warmth
then passed beyond to the other side
Now, you who deeply feel its loss,
be comforted - the rose blooms there-
its beauty even greater now, nurtured by
God's own loving care.
You are in our thoughts and prayers,
Greg and Kathy Goodwin

My wife and I have a hurt in our hearts as well. He will stay in our hearts because that is where he is resting. He is also resting in all of the hearts of those who loved him and those who called him their friend.
Salute, old friend.

Jerri, I have such fond memories of your Dad....soft spoken, guitar playing, creative spirit, supportive Dad! The Depot - his office - his space that he "allowed" us to make memories in....I ALWAYS felt part of your family..his family. Kent (Mr. Haaven as I called him then), took time to talk to me and listened to what I had to say....I am so sorry for your loss, your families loss. Your Dad will live in the hearts of those that loved him, and those that he loved, his creative spirt lives on in the magic he put on paper....sending you strength....

Kent, you will be missed. Condolences to his family and friends. We will never forget the great trip you prepared for our 50th anniversary Return to Darmstadt and Beyond in 2001. It was one of our best trips ever. I will remember the old days in 49-52 and our times together on Ernst Ludwig Kaserne with the 2ndRSM. Miss you buddy. R.I.P.
