David Haag Obituary


David H. Haag, 66, of Centre Twp., died Saturday, July 21, 2018, in Rosewood Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, Schuylkill

Haven. He was the beloved husband of the late Starr L. Haag, who died May 30, 2016.

Born in Reading, he was the son of the late Harold B. and Grace M. (Graeff) Haag.

He was a member of Salem (Belleman's) Church, Centre Twp. He graduated from Schuylkill Valley High School in 1970. He worked as a cabinetmaker for the former Quaker Maid, Leesport, for 22 years.

David enjoyed roller skating, bowling and gardening. He often would even buy flowers and plants for neighbors. He enjoyed playing board games with his family, especially 500 Rummy and Parcheesi. David had pet guinea pigs that he loved for many years. In his younger years, he was a member of Boy Scout Troop 154 and always enjoyed his time as a scout. He always loved his wife's home cooking. Some of David's close friends and family called him "Crockett" because he used to wear a Davey Crockett hat.
