Our prayers are with Mrs. Hafer and her family. We we the neighbors who lived behind the Hafer's in Florissant. I have wonderful memories of playing with Laurie, sleepovers, and just playing in their backyard.

Mr. & Mrs. Hafer were very kind when my mother passed away.

May peace be with your family at this time.

We enjoyed getting to know Joan & Erle at the Denver Cyclone games. They proudly cheered for Alex and the rest of the boys. Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.

We were always impressed with his good nature, his humor, and willingness to help others. The twinkle in is eye when he was about to play a joke on someone and his enduring love for Joan and his family. He left a lasting impression on all he met and we always enjoyed his company. Each of you are in our thoughts and prayers.
We love you all...Bob, Pat, & Christina Lohe

I remember Erle at the men's doubles tennis league back in the 1980s. He was always such a good sportsman. Always friendly. A great example for us younger players. God support the Hafer family during this tough time. Jim Landgraf (Chesterfield, MO)
