I knew Robert William Haman who lived but one block over from Hawthorne Ave where I lived. Bob lived on Berkley near Chucky Gauthier fewer than a couple of houses from Alexander Boulevard. He loved playing baseball on the then Elmhurst College Baseball Field near Grace Street and Utley Street playing with the likes of the Warren Woltman who also lived in our general neighborhood. May Robert William Haman rest in peace forevermore. An old friend --- Bruce Downey of York '52
