Obituary
Henry (Hank) Haas, Sr, age 84, of Punta Gorda, FL, formerly of Delaware, passed away suddenly on September 10, 2021, at Fawcett Hospital in Port Charlotte, FL with the love of his life by his side.
Hank was born in Wilmington, DE, graduated from Wilmington High School, and attended Temple University. He was a proud member of the Air National Guard for 28 years; retiring as Master Sergeant of Avionics. Hank was a very talented electrician and worked at several companies including RCA where he was part of the team working on one of the first NASA Apollo Space Missions. He was an electrical engineer with General Motors and headed up the first robotics division during his 30-year career.
A member of the Knights of Columbus since 1961 (in DE and FL), Hank volunteered for Tootsie roll drives and fish fries where he was known for his excellent coleslaw. After retiring to Florida, he held numerous officer positions with Knights Council 5399 including Deputy Grand Knight and a 4th Degree.
Hank had many accomplishments including being the first male Cookie Chairperson for the Girl Scouts of Chesapeake Bay Council. Fishing was one of Hank's favorite hobbies where he earned many citations. He was the best handyman ever and was known to be able to fix anything he put his hands on. He was so handy he built the family summer house at Broadkill Beach.
Hank was preceded in death by his parents, Henry and Eva (Ptak) Haas; son, William H. Haas; and daughters Barbara Haas and Beverly Worrall Finch. Hank is survived by his loving wife of 65 years, Barbara (Northrup); his children, Marianne Allen (Dave) of Milton, Richard Haas (Heather) of NC, Henry (Hank) Haas, Jr. of Greenwood, Dianne Hendrickson (Jeff) of Lewes, Lisa Kerrigan (Michael) of Wilmington; 15 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.
