William Haas Obituary
Born in Holmesville, to the late J. William and L. Martha Haas. Dean was an Akron area resident for most of his life. Dean was an entrepreneur, and finished his career with Haas and Associates, a Manufacturer's Rep. Group. For 53 years he was a member of the Elks B.P.O.E. Cuyahoga Falls Lodge 1923, and had served as Exalted Ruler in 1970-71.
His survivors include wife of 14 years, Nancy Jean (Seiler-Elms); daughters, Leigh (Tony) Weston of Geneva, and Denise "Dee" (Don) Genda of Akron; sister, F. Carol (Jerry) Curren of Wooster; brother, M. Dale (Carolyn) Haas of New Philadelphia; grandchildren, Joseph (Caryne) Urbank, Keleigh Genda, Andrew Jackson, Michael Weston; and numerous nieces and nephews (Uncle Ho Ho).
Dean was a great story teller, enjoyed practical jokes and a good belly laugh with friends and family. He enjoyed traveling, baking and a good cigar.
Dean was a very loving, supportive and caring man who would do anything he could to help make loved ones' dreams come true. He was never one to say "I told you so". He is already missed by those who knew and loved him.
Calling hours will be on Monday from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Dunn-Quigley Funeral Home (811 Grant St. in Akron), where an Elks memorial service will take place at 7 p.m. Inurnment and military honors at Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery will take place at a later date.

Another year has gone by, can't believe it has been 7 years, it seems like yesterday that I received that horrible phone call. They say that it gets easier with time but I don't feel that. I still think of you everyday and I still want to pick up the phone and call you. As a matter of fact your phone number is still in my phone, probably will be forever. I tried to keep busy today so I wouldn't think about it but it didn't work. As I was mowing the lawn, Tony was smoking a cigar and I had to smile because the cigar smell brought back instant memories. I wish you were here to see Luke. He is so smart, just like Joey. He is 2 and a half and already sounds out words, knows the presidents and all the states. He looks exactly like him also. Give Magee and Dolce a hug for me. I know they are keeping you company. Dolce is probably keeping you entertained with her crazy self. If you see Patty Kelley there tell her I'm sorry I didn't get home in time to see her. Miss you so much Dad...Love you forever!

Thank you for showing up at Andrews wedding today. Dee, Colleen and I cried. Andrew looked so much like you when you were young. The older he gets the more he looks like you. He wore your eagle, which he never takes off and placed your picture on a place of honor. You certainly were missed. You are missed everyday but especially today. Thanks again for your visit!!!

Happy 78th Birthday Dad!! I hope you are celebrating with a slice of red velvet cake, a good cigar and a glass of scotch.
You have missed so much this year, the biggest event would have been the birth of Joseph Luke Urbank III. He was born on Joey's birthday and looks just like him. He is the sweetest baby, I wish you were here to hold him.
Michael had testicular cancer that moved into his kidney. He jokes about only having one testicle and kidney, I'm so glad he had a good attitude about the whole thing. He is now 100 percent cancer free, his cancer made for a very long and scary summer. He is making up for last summer by asking Alexa to marry him next month.
I think about you every single day, I didn't think it was possible to miss you more than the first year, but I do. There are so many things I do and wish you were here to do them with me. There is a bourbon distillery in the middle of all the wineries, when Tony and I go, you are always mentioned and we toast to you. If Tony didn't have to work tonight we would be there having a drink with you!
Tell Grandma and Pop hello for me. I guess today is her day also.
Miss you more and more each day. I love you with all my heart.
September 28, 2016
Honey,
I miss you sooo much. As I said, I think of you constantly and I think of our love.
I feel you around me all the time and wish we could hug and talk to each other.
I am anxious to see you again, in Heaven, since I'm sure that's where you are. Afterall, isn't that where all Angels go? You were my angel here on earth and now you're my Guardian Angel.
Please keep watching over me and sending me you love,
I Love You Sweetheart

Happy Father's Day dad. Miss you so much. I was thinking the other day how much has happened since you left. You missed the birth of your first great granddaughter. She is beautiful. Her name is Bayleigh Rae and she looks just like Andrew. I say that but then you probably met her before we did.
I thought it would get easier but there isn't a day that I don't think of you. Tony and I talk about you a lot, especially when we go to a restaurant that we know you would love or when he smokes a good cigar. Vacation planning always brings you to mind.
Again Happy Father's Day, Love and miss you so much.
August 1, 2014
Honey,
I miss you EVERY SINGLE DAY. I do wish you were here to tell that to you in person. I am hoping and prayig that you are in heaven and see everything I do and see.
I miss your encouragement and you everlasting love. All the wonderful moments we shared. I have the best memories of us together.
I know we'll be togeher some day and look forward to seeing your beautiful smiling eyes again, and your warm and loving embraces.
I always thought Terry was the love of my live, but I know it was/is YOU.
I have tried to make you proud and will keep on trying.
It's been two years now and I still remember just about every day we ever spent together.
I'm glad that you are no longer in pain, I just wish it didn't have to go the way it did.
I was just thinking about how you would have me read to you from my books. You said it was because you loved to hear my voice and I loved you even more for it.
I loved hearing your voice too. Especially when you would say "Honey, I'm home".
We had something very special that very few people share in a lifetime and I always carry that with me in my heart wherever I go and whatever I do.
I know you are looking down on me now and are happy that I've found some happiness in all this mess of a life. It's a mess because you aren't here to share it with me.
I am now seeing the sights of the West you always wanted to show me and can understand your love of it. I think of you everytime I see something new and magestic. You are part of it.
I will always be your loving wife, no matter what happens in this life and will always be grateful for your love.
I miss you Honey, today more than most days, but on every day I wake and find you are not here next to me to share my day.
I Love you and always will,
Your loving wife,
Nancy

Happy 75th Birthday Dad. Sorry this is a day late getting to you. I did send you a message on facebook, on time. I miss you so much. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you. It is getting easier to think of you and smile but sometimes a tear still slips out. I hope you had the most beautiful and delicious cake ever and ate a piece for me. Love you,
Necklace made in memory of Dean Haas!

The necklace I made in memory of you made it onto the Origami Owl Facebook page. I will wear it the entire month of May and August. Special occasions too!

Hi Dad. I couldn't bring myself to send you a message on THE day. You know that I thought about you the entire day, which is nothing new. I do that every day.
On Aug. 1, I made a charm necklace in remembrance. It is silver and says “love always”. There are small charms, 5 in all. Your birthstone, a letter to heaven that says “I Love You”, a heart that says “in memory” a green cancer ribbon and a crystal butterfly. On the chain hangs a tag that says, “Fear Not, without change there would be no butterflies.” Also on the chain there is a black bauble for the color of the butterfly. I think I will buy the letters “W”, “D”, and “H”. That would make it even more personalized. I made the chain long enough that I can still wear my butterfly necklace.
I miss you so much. I thought it was supposed to get easier but it still feels like yesterday. I'll see something or hear something that reminds me of you and I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I usually choose the laughing because I will remember the good time we had.
I got a new lawn mower. You would love this thing. It has a 61” deck, Tony mowed the entire lawn in 2 ½ hours. The seat has a dial like a sleep number bed so you can adjust the firmness. It was pretty pricey but since it is a commercial mower we should never have to buy another one.
Hoping this year will be easier. Miss you more than you will ever know.
Love you!!!!!

Honey,
It's been a year since I've seen your beautiful face and felt your warm loving arms around me.
There are so many things I miss about you and I miss about us.
I miss the way you cared about and for me. I miss your sense of humor about life. I miss our "inside" jokes. I miss our comradship and our partnership.
I just plain miss you.
I wish God hadn't decided to take you when he did, but the reasons are not for me to know. All I know is that you are not in pain and are in Gods' loving arms.
You were such a loving and good man that I have no doubts where you are right now.
You felt things so deeply and would never do anything to hurt another person if it was in your control.
I know you didn't want to hurt me by leaving. We had such plans for our future, but I guess that just wasn't meant to be.
I am grateful for the years we were together. I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world.
I Love You and always will,
Your loving wife
July 13, 2013
Babe,
I know how you know how much I miss you. I read our texts over and over again for the last couple of months you were still with me.
I would give ANYTHING to still have you with me.
I love you and always will.

Hi Dad. We just returned from Mexico, it is still strange being there without you. You would have loved the place we stayed, monkeys, capybara, coati, and iguanas roamed all over. They had a great swim up bar and the First Club was huge and beautiful. Mike and Tony caught a 200 pound Blue Marlin it was incredible. I don't know why I am telling you this because I know you were there. Mike saw you the second day we were there. He called me off the beach to see a beautiful black butterfly flying around the pool. I bought a black, ceramic Mexican painted butterfly to add to my vacation collection. When I see it I remember the great times we had on vacation. I really miss you.

Happy first Father's Day in Heaven Dad! Hard to believe that a year ago you were here. Here at my house and we were making steak and lobster together. We both knew it was your final Father's Day and as sick as you were you still “humored me”, (which I found out later that you did a lot, just to make me happy), by eating everything we made. We talked about a final vacation we would take and made plans for Christmas. I think you knew as we talked that you wouldn't be here for those occasions. I was fun though talking and laughing about what we were going to do. If I would have known then that you would be gone so soon, there is so much I would have told you. I thought I had more time, that we had more time. I guess I am glad you went so quickly, that your suffering wasn't long. I just wanted you here for selfish reasons, I couldn't imagine what my life would be without you. Now that you are gone I think I talk to you more often than I did while you were here. I talk to you EVERY SINGLE DAY because I miss you more EVERY SINGLE DAY! I can still hear your voice and your laugh in my head. I hope I never forget that, as long as your voice is still in my head you can answer me. Thank you for being THE BEST DAD ever. I miss you so, so much. Happy Father's Day Dad.

Do you know that August 1, 2012 was the saddest day of my life... Do you know how many times I wanted to ask for your advice...
Do you know how many times I wanted to call you and share a happy moment in my life…
Do you know how often I talk about you and laugh about the fun we had...
Do you know how many times I heard your voice guiding me through the storm that was on the horizon...
Do you know how I look for signs that you are here... Do you know that I keep your picture and a lock of your hair on my dresser… Do you know how sometimes I feel so cheated...
Do you know the last time I kissed your forehead and held your hand to my heart that at that moment I said goodbye...
Do you know that the last 9 months feels like yesterday... Do you know that I cried the first time I saw your final resting place, then I knew for sure that it was real…
Do you know that time has not stood still… Do you know not a day goes by that I don't think of you at least a dozen times… Do you know that I love and miss you dad and always will… Do you know the I would have danced today celebrating your 74 years of life... Of course you know because you are always standing right here...beside me.
Happy 1st Birthday in Heaven!

Babe,
I miss you every day. I miss your smile and your great, comforting hugs. I just wish you could hug and hold me just one more time.
What would a person do if they knew this one kiss and hug would be the last?
Just wanted to let you know I will always love and miss you and treasure every moment we had together.
Love you always,

Hi, I got a new puppy!! She is so cute and will be huge. We named her Dolce. It means “sweet” in Spanish. Her name really fits, she is the sweetest little dog.
I have heard over and over again when someone is gone and they visit you in your sleep that they are actually there.
So I guess you were here last week, it was so vivid and real. The dream is stuck in my head, I usually can't remember them but this one I will never forget.
You and I were sitting in an ice skating arena in an enclosed balcony room watching all of our loved ones skating. We can see Dee, Tony, Joe, Mike, Don, Keleigh, Andrew, Nancy, Caryne, Aunt Carol, Uncle Jerry, etc... You turn to me and say "See, no need to worry about them, we can watch over them and they will be safe." We watched everyone skate for a long while then I must have woke up because I don't remember anything more.
I have no idea what it all means but I loved seeing you again. You can come and visit anytime you like. I miss you so much.
February 3, 2013
Hey Babe,
It's been six months now. You're still not here. As you used to say when I got home from work "Where were you, I looked around and you weren't here?".
I want you to know, you'll always be here. You'll always be wherever I am, bacause you are in my heart at all times.
I think of you every day. I think of you every night. I think of how you would react to things that go on in my life.
I'm moving forward, slowly, but forward.
I only pray that you are with God and enjoying the fruits of your labor while here on earth.
I'll love you always,
Nancy
January 15, 2013
Did you come to visit me last night, just briefly?
Every night before I go to sleep I say "Goodnight Babe" to you, just like I did when you were here. Then I tell God "Goodnight" and thank him for the strength he gave me to make it through another day.
Just after I thanked God, you walked through the door, I caught it out of the corner of my eye. You were wearing the Tux you wore at Leigh's Wedding and you looked so handsome (and well).
Thank you for coming to me and letting me know you are still watching over me.
I Love You,
Nanc

Joey called me last night to tell me that Paul Urbank is there with you. You both can sit around and tell each other stories like you used to.
Joey has lost 2 grandparents in less than 6 months, I feel so bad for him. My friend Nancy is near the end with her liver. Joe Ciriano's daughter died Friday. Keep watch over her.
I know you had some hand in my recovery. Thank you for that. At least I am safe from the hard chemo until at least April. I have too many other things to worry about than having to worry about me.
I guess this year is just a continuation of the last 6 months of 2012, other than McGee and my cancer. At least there is a little sunshine so far in 2013.
Love you and miss you more and more each day.
Christmas 2010 wearing the silly snowflake!

Finally I am able to send you a message. I tried on Christmas Eve but for some reason I couldn't connect.
Christmas Eve was a bummer, we seemed kind of lost since we were supposed to be spending it with you. It being the first Christmas without you, it will take a while to start new traditions and figure out what we are supposed to do. It would have been nice to make popcorn and ornaments again. Mike didn't get to spend a Christmas at your place, I think he would have had a blast. I am adding a picture of that silly snowflake that everyone had to wear.
So here we are in the new year. It has got to be better than the last one.
Next Wednesday I found out if the treatments worked. I really hope so because I don't want to do the hard stuff. I know someday I will but not right now.
Well, HAPPY NEW YEAR DAD! I would have really liked to tell you that in person.
Talk to you soon. Love and Miss you!
December 31, 2012
Babe,
It's New Year's Eve. It's the first one in 19 years that you have not been here with me. Remember our first one in New Orleans? Remember you being embarressed about calling for maid service?
I have the sushi here waiting for you. I know you won't be here to have it, but I needed to get it for you - Our tradition. I have your pork roast ready for tommorow. I have all the love in the world waiting for you.
I'm not sure I want 2013 to come, since you won't be here with me to share it. All the things to come that I can't share with you. It makes me cry to think of them, so I won't think of them, but I'll still cry.
I've tried to be strong, but inside I'm week without you. Please pray for me for the strength for the year (and years) to come. I really don't want them without you.
I Love you and need you more than I can say. But you know what is in my heart, you always did.
I miss you and my heart breaks anew every day.
Your partner in everything!
December 25, 2012
Babe,
You're in Heaven right now with Christ. As you always said, He is the reason for the season.
I'm so jealous of you, being able to celebrate His birthday with Him.
I miss you terribly and wish you were here, but you are where He wants you to be.
Say hello to your Mom for me. Give My Mom a big kiss and hug and tell her I Love and Miss her.
I missed watching all the Christmas movies this season with you. I still watched them and thought of you while watching.
I missed all the baking you so loved in preperation for Christmas - even though you would always eat too many of the cookies (to make sure they were OK).
I missed the family Christmas Eve and the Joy you always had when surrounded by your girls and the grandchildren.
I missed waking up next to you this morning and hearing you say "Merry Christmas Babe" and the big hug and kiss you would have given me.
I Love you dearly,
Your Loving Wife

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you Dad for sending McGee back to me! He is a muddy, smelly mess but he is home!!! I know you had a hand in keeping him and helping him find his way back to me. Best Christmas gift I could have, other than you of course.
Missing you tons. Love you much!

December 13, 2012
Hi Dad. McGee came to join you last night. Take good care of him and I know you will both be there to meet me someday. He likes to cuddle and keep him away from the water or you won't be able to handle the smell.
I just don't understand why God would take the two of you so unexpectedly. I loved you both so much and now you both are gone.
Please watch over the rest of my family because I don't know if I could take too much more. Miss you every day dad.

Hey Dad, just stopping by to say hi and that I was thinking about you. Miss you so very much!
One more treatment to go. Is this working? Certainly doesn't feel like it. Guess I will know the first of the year. I certainly hope it works because I don't know if my family can take another year like this one.
Give us all strength. Love you!
November 29, 2012
Babe,
Yesterday was our 15th anniversary. I wasn't sure I could make it through the day without you - but somehow I did.
I just wanted to thank you for the best 19 years of my life.
I know you aren't physically here, but you will always be here with me, in my heart and soul.
I'll see ya later aligator
I Love You ALWAYS

Wow, we should be in a hotel right now, staying up all night, waiting for our flight to Mexico. Well at least you and Nancy. I would be hooking up with you next week.
I guess the way this year has been even if you were still here with us I may not have been making the trip anyway.
Today was so hard and I know tomorrow will be hard on Nancy. Yes, we all know it is not your real Anniversary but the day after Thanksgiving will always be the day. So Happy Anniversary Dad and Nancy!
Maybe next year at this time we all can take that trip to Mexico on Thanksgiving. Kind of do a "Weekend at Bernie's". Hopefully our hearts and bodies will be healed by then.
Miss you more and more everyday. Love you so much.
Happy Thanksgiving Dad!
November 20, 2012
Honey,
I miss you so much. I think of you everyday, all day. I wish so much that you were here with me. I keep telling myself that you are with God now and no longer in any pain. That's the only thing that keeps me going. I try to keep moving forward and not fall backward, it's hard, but I know it's what you would want.
In the new apartment I hear someone walking around upstairs occasionally and think of you. I keep expecting you to walk down the steps and say "Hi Babe" each time I hear those steps. Is it you letting me know you're still with me?
Please be with Leigh and give her strength. It's going to be a long haul for her. You probably saved her life! Neither of us likes the way you did it, but maybe that's the only way you knew to get your point across. Typical of you - don't think about yourself, just what you can to for us.
We both love and miss you so much it hurts.
I love you always,
Nancy

I woke up this morning, turned on the t.v. and said..."Boy, would dad be mad.", (only I didn't use the word mad). Things will be the same, at least for a while. That is all I'm gonna say about that.
You would have been so proud of Tony the other day. He did a great job on t.v., he is a natural. Maybe he should quit his job and think about acting, or cooking.
I'm praying on Monday that when I go to the doctor the results are going to say that they made a big mistake and I can go home. I wish you could make that happen cause this is pretty painful. Both mentally and physically. A few people have told me they are amazed at how strong I am. I don't know about that, I cry in the shower just about everyday, (nobody can hear me there), the unknown is a scary thing. Be there with me on Monday then if the doctor has bad news you can hold me up and make me strong for Tony.
I miss you more everyday. Love you!

It's been a while since I've been on here but that doesn't mean I don't think about you everyday. I need you to hold my hand tomorrow, yep, I'm scared. I just know you will be there whether it is good or bad. Miss you so much! Love you dad.

We finally got Nancy pretty much moved into her new place. You would have loved it. It was very hard going through your things. I kept much more than I should have but I am sure as time goes by I will be able to weed it down. Thank you for keeping the old movies. I boxed them up to have them put on DVD so we can watch them. Can't wait but I have a feeling I am going to cry. Nancy gave Michael the blanket she made for you, he was so happy. He says he is going to put it away until he has his own place then he will display it on a quilt rack for everyone to see. Funny how sentimental he is. I miss you so much.

I thought about you today…all day. I was mowing the lawn getting ready for the Labor Day Party and the fact that you won't be there is almost intolerable. I should be seeing you in a couple of days as we start setting up. I know Tony is going to miss you when it comes time to put up the canopy and who is going to bring Trail Bologna and Swiss Cheese? We will have fireworks, cigars and beer in your honor!
While mowing I started thinking of all the things that when I see them I will think of you. I am adding a picture of just a few of the items that immediately came to mind.
My tears are making it difficult to type, just wanted you to know that you are missed so, so much.
I love you Dad!
August 27, 2012
Babe,
The best part of my days dissappeared the day you died. I really felt it today.
The part of the day I loved the most was getting home from work. You would be standing at the top of the steps with a great big hug and a smile. No matter how good or bad my day was, you always made it better.
I would anticipate this all the long drive home and I miss it terribly.
I love you,

I took the last message you left me off the answering machine today. I copied it onto my computer and will copy it again from there. I never want to lose the sound of your voice. It is so comforting to hear, "Hey Leigh, it's Dad". I think I will play it whenever I am feeling down. Miss you so much!

It is Sunday, and I feel like I should be calling you to tell you about my week. I guess since I can't talk to you over the phone I will talk to you hear. I don't want to post my/our personal business on the internet so how about a poem.
Thank you for the laughter,
For all the good times that we did share,
Thanks for always listening,
For trying to be fair.
Thank you for your comfort,
When things were going bad,
Thank you for the shoulder,
To cry on when I was sad.
This poem is a reminder that
All my life through,
I'll be thanking God and Heaven
For giving me a Special Dad like you.
This is harder than I ever imagined it could be. Missing you more each day. Love you Dad!

Written August 1, 2012. Today the world, at least my little world, lost a wonderful man. MY DAD! He was always there for me no matter the problem or the occasion. He would give me his opinion but would never say I told you so when I didn't take his advice. I will miss our Sunday talks and vacations together. I loved that he loved my husband and stepson like they were his own and I am sure they will certainly miss him. I know he is as happy as I am sad getting to see his parents again, but I know that someday I will be with him. I love you Dad! R.I. P.

What will I miss the most about Dean? Would it be his wonderful sense of humor? Would it be his caring personality? Would it be his thoughtfulness? Would it be those beautiful blue eyes that could look right into your soul?
I will miss all of those things, but what I will miss the most are his hands. The hands that fixed my breakfast and lunches on workdays. The hands that made bread and cookies for my father. The hands that fixed whatever was broken.
The hands that held mine when we would walk together. The hands that held mine while watching television at night.
The hands that dried my tears when I hurt. The hands that picked me up when I fell. The hands that woke me when I had bad dreams. The hands that patted me on the back when I succeeded.
The hands on the end of those wonderful arms that wrapped around me and pulled me close. The hands that held mine each night as we fell to sleep.
I guess those strong but gentle hands are what I will miss the most about him. Dean showed his love through his hands.
I Will Always Love You Dean

My dearest Aunt Nancy, I am so sorry for your loss. We truly will miss Dean and his wonderful sense of humor amongst many wonderful qualities. I wish I could be there to give you a big hug and help console you. Please know that you are in Betsy and I's hearts. Of course I would be remissed to not end with an inside joke shared between u,s "When did you get here?" Love and miss you buddy.
Love Steven and Betsy DeWitt

Aunt Nancy,
i am so very sorry. I wish I could give you some words of comfort but I know that there aren't any. Uncle Dean was a wonderful man who accepted everyone into his life and this world is a better place because he was in it. I feel truly blessed that he was a part of my life and will greatly miss him.
Cassi was so very upset when I told her the news, she did not sleep that night because she had so much on her mind. My heart breaks for her and my heart breaks for you.
I love you
