To Bob,Juanita,Sheila,Arthur, and the remainder of the Haas family, my wife Patty and I would like to offer our most hearfelt condolences on the passing of your Dad.... We would like to share this passage with you in this time of sorrow.

Don’t think of Dad as gone away –

his journey’s just begun;

life holds so many facets –

this earth is only one.

Just think of Dad as resting

from the sorrows and the tears

in a place of warmth and comfort

where there are no days and years.

Think how he must be wishing

that we could know, today,

how nothing but our sadness

can really pass away.

And think of Dad as living

in the hearts of those he touched…

for nothing loved is ever lost –

and he was loved so much.

God Bless You All......
