Dr Haupt, We were shocked and saddened to hear about Jeff. He always had such a cheerful way about him and really put you at ease. He made you feel that you were his only client. He was a really great attorney to have if you needed one. (Our boys will just need to be extra careful about staying out of trouble now!) God bless you and your family. The Yagiela's

To the Haupt Family
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. To say I was shocked would be an under statement. I have known Jeff for over 25 years. He was a good friend and I will truly miss him and his smile. When my wife (Sarah) passed away Jeff and I talked for a long time. He gave me comfort and the strength to carry on. He will be in my prayers. He is gone but never forgotten.

Dear Haupt Family,
I am deeply saddened by Jeff's passing. He never knew a stranger. He was a deeply spiritual man, and I know he is in heaven now. One time he said to me, "don't trust me, trust God."
I have great memories of Jeff, coming into court and saying hello with a big smile to everyone from the custodian to the clerk. He was a kind man with great wisdom. He will be dearly missed.
I will always remember the dogs and Kathy at the office while I waited for Jeff and how comforting it was to have family around.
Jeff was a beautiful, special man inside and out and I will always remember him. Rest in Peace, Friend.
Love and Prayers,
Kathaleen O'Brien, Esquire

Jeffie, I'll always remember the laughs we had clowning around in Ron Kaylor's gym class at LHS. When we were out with the guys, you always had the check covered before anyone ever got their hand out of their pocket. No event was ever dull when you were there. Your generosity and great sense of humor will always be remembered and missed!-mutsif

Jeff was a bright light in an often times dark world. He had an infectious smile and an impish grin that made him unforgettable and fun to be around. Many that attained the business success that Jeff did become stodgy and unapproachable, but Jeff was always Jeff. Simply a great guy to be around. Many, many people will miss him. Jim, John, and Kathy, so many people share your pain and wish there was something that they could do to make it easier. There are no words to ease pain like this. Jeff left a proud legacy and an example of how we all should interact and treat each other.

As a young man of 30 years I can say I've known Jeff for half my life.From the time he handled my settlement at age 15 until now he has always been a friend to me and my family.

Dear Haupt Family,

I am a retired Bailiff from the Summit County Common Pleas Court. I had the priviledge of having Jeff serve in our Court in many cases. My most special memory of Jeff is his stopping into our Court whether he had a case there of not, and always remembering us with our favorite pastries from his favorite bakery. He was special indeed and always made everyone around him feel the same way. My thoughts are with you; it was my priviledge to know Jeff.

I had the opportunity to know Jeff and his fun loving character. He knew when to have a good time and when to turn on his serious side as well. We had some good times on and off the court. The Class of 1972 knew Jeff would be successful at any thing he was challenged with. God bless you and the family with peace and comfort.

Canton has lost a great defense attorney. Jeff helped several family members in various legal fields. He was especially helpful in the field of mental health issues! "There but for the grace of God go I" he said. May God place Jeff in a very special spot in heaven forever for all the good he did for us and others! We intend to send a mass folder to the funeral home and send a donation to Sacred Heart Monastary.
Sincerely,
Daniel SR. and Catherine V.Grossi (Vicki Lane-Lehman "73")

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Jeff. He recently helped me through a very rough time by representing me in court. Just by the brief time that I knew Jeff, he was always very thoughtful and caring. You could tell that everyone enjoyed being around him and that one of a kind smile he had could light up any room. I really appreciated his assistance and guidance.

Thanks for everything, Jeff. You are truly going to be missed in the Stark County community. God Bless.

To the entire Haupt Family,
Tom and I would like to express our heartfelt sympathy to all of you at this time. I had the pleasure of being Jeff and Kathy's neighbor at Lake Cable and enjoyed our meetings with the dogs. Jeff truly was a wonderful man that helped so many in their times of need. He always brought a smile to my face when I saw him as well as watching him orchestrate a cookout for his handicapped friends. He will truly be missed this summer on the water, but his spirit will live on in all of us that had the pleasure of his acquaintance.

Dear Cathy and family,
My memories of Jeff will all be on a spiritual level. We shared a common religious faith and he was very open about his faith. I will never forget how he went to Mexico and prayed for me during my cancer. This is the Jeff I knew. I am going to return his favor and never forget to pray for his soul like he did for me.

Patti Bucci

January 23, 2009

To Kathy, John and families, I was truly saddened to learn of Jeffrey's passing. He was a Master at his craft. He gave a hundred percent of himself regardless of your social status. I was privileged to see this Master's work in the courtroom. On top of all of that he had a heart made out of gold. Always a kind word and always caring about his fellow man. He will truly be missed by many. He leaves a wonderful legacy both personal with all of the lives he touched and professional with all of the lives he helped set on the right path. My prayers go out to all of his loved ones, that God will ease your heavy hearts.

Rest in peace my old teammate,rest in peace.

This is so hard for us to believe. Jeffrey has always been there for us for counsel and guidance as an attorney and friend. Always a big hug when running into him. I know you are blessed with many, many memories...One that sticks out in my mind is the one night (for some reason I was able to stay awake) to watch David Letterman and I had to rub my eyes because there on his show was JEFFREY HAUPT form Canton.......That was unbelievable!!!!!! And halarious I might add. Jeff always had a way about him and earned the respect of so many. We are so honored to have had him in our lives....even if only occasionally. Please know that we share your grief. I still hear him "Jeffrey Haupt calling" when returning phone calls. Our thought s and prayers are with you.
