Paul Haan Obituary
Lansing - Paul passed away on February 19, 2018 after a long illness. He was born July 31, 1937 to John and Esther E. (Shipma) Haan in Morrison, IL.

He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Mae; daughter, Deborah Larkin; son, Darrell Haan; 6 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; brother, Craig (Vicky) Haan; and sister, LaVonne (Ken) Huizenga.

While with Long, he helped develop County Meadows Subdivision in DeWitt, MI. He was a residential builder whose specialty was high quality finish carpentry.

Mae, I am so sorry to hear of Paul's passing. Such a heartbreaking loss. It is never easy when that time comes to say goodbye to those we love. He was truly a good man. You and Paul have been wonderful neighbors to my Mom and sister through the years. When Mom came home from the hospital after a fall, Paul built my Mom a handicap walk up to her door. It was built as perfectly as you could imagine; it would not have been anything less. He even built it so that it could be disassemble and reused later. My Mom could not have asked for nicer neighbors. No words can ease the loss you feel, just know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Hugs!
