PETER HAJE Obituary

HAJE--Peter.

It is with deep sorrow that New Alternatives for Children mourns the passing of Peter Haje, NAC's esteemed Board member and Treasurer. Peter's extraordinary devotion, keen wisdom, generosity in every way, and leadership over 22 years helped the agency grow as we naviga- ted the complex child welfare system. Peter will be sorely missed by the entire NAC family. Our heartfelt condolences to Helen and his family, with whom we share the grief of their loss. Robert Friedman, President; Arlene Goldsmith, Executive Director

Peter was as fine a person as I've met in both my personal and professional life. He had all the "goods," so to speak and was totally unprepossessing about them. He bore out the notion that often it's the quietest person in the room who speaks the loudest.

To the Haje Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.
