John Haas was a local here,.........and as everyone has said not only a great man but the best at his sport.

Truely loved the sport and had a passion for it like no other.
But what also made him great was humble side he had for family, friends,..........and fans alike.

RIP John Haas You will be missed by so many and yet
bring smiles to so many with all the memories you have created and the memories others have shared with you.


Jon
