Curtis Wayne Hauff was born September 22, 1953 at Harvey, North Dakota, to Herbert and Rosella (Rauschenberger) Hauff. A lifelong farmer, he began working on the family farm at an early age. He graduated from Drake High School in 1971 and in 1973 from NDSCS in Wahpeton as an electrician. Curt married Desi Volk on September 21, 1974 in Drake, North Dakota. They were the parents of two sons, Bradly and Brian. They made their home in Harvey, where Curt worked for Wohl's Electric. In 1984, they moved to Drake and started their own business, C & D Electric, with Curt's brother Dennis. Curt was a Master Electrician for Drake and the surrounding areas for 30 years. Curt's true passion was farming, where he continued to grow the family farm south of Drake with his brother Dennis throughout his life. Curt enjoyed ice fishing, golfing, and playing cards with friends and family when not working. Family was the priority for Curt and he loved spending time with his children, grandchildren, and the family dogs.
Curtis is survived by sons, Bradly (Gwen) Hauff, Mandan; Brian (Krystal) Hauff, Drake; grandchildren, Ethan and Avery, Mandan; Riley and Brady, Drake; sister, LaVonne (Leon) Samuel, Mandan; brother, Dennis, Drake; and many cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Curtis's mother and my mother were very close. Our farms were 4 miles apart. As a boy, Curtis and I played farm many times. He was a great father and grandpa. I enjoyed recalling many memories with him at family reunions. God's speed Curt.
