Dad, you were always there for us and I can never truly express how much that meant over all these years. You set a great example for me and I hope I lived up to your expectations and will continue to try and do so. I’m just glad that you aren’t suffering anymore and I hope you, Uncle Gary, and Uncle Bobby are together, drinking Manhattan’s, cheering on the Buckeyes, maybe even playing Euchre.
Love you and miss you.
Chip

I remember on Sunday mornings Grandpa Haas doing the Sunday paper crossword puzzle and asking Ronnie or Gary the answers to it or watching the Browns playing football on tv. I looked up to my uncles and they are greatly missed.

To the Haas family – My deepest sympathies. I remember Ron fondly from his days here in the Dept of the Navy and in the financial management community. May you find peace in the happy memories that you shared with Ron.
On behalf of all SPAWAR Comptroller personnel, I want to be so thankful for Ron’s guidance and caring during his time with us. In addition to his amazing financial skills, he was an even better person and challenged us to become better people as well. We are truly fortunate to have shared time with him.

My deepest sympathy to each of you. I am sure that Ron is now resting peacefully, may be not since he is now with his brothers. Have fun guys! Sorry I’m not there but know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Betty and family: Please accept my deepest sympathy.

I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your loved one. When someone we love dies, it’s natural to want to see that person again. God promises us that He will comfort us in our trials if we go to him in prayer. 2 Corinthians 1:3 calls him the God of all comfort. I’d like to share with y’all this link that shows 12 steps on coping with grief that is good for sharing. I have personally found this very comforting and I hope y’all do as well. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=102018086&srcid=share
