I have many great memories of Poppy - Christmas eve, sitting in his packed living room eating food and opening presents. Watching road runner at his house while eating cheeze-its because I wasnt allowed to at home. Playing chess and him letting me win. Walking around the woods and the property with him, listening to him tell me about the groundhogs he had seen and the history of the farm. Mowing the lawns with him every Saturday - he would always mow the hardest parts and let me ride on the comfortable mower. Drinking Ginger ale and eating Grandma's famous chocolate stripped cookies, kept in the fridge. His incredible collection of old things, ( thats how I viewed them as a kid) made the reck room seem like an amazing time capsule, or some kind of museum, that I would always love to explore. ( it was always ice cold and freezing in there! ) All these memories combine into an amazing feeling of home every time I drive up that driveway, or turn the corner to see their house. Poppy taught me to love nature, he taught me that the simple things matter and he made me proud of my family and history. Most of all his gentle and light hearted nature, combined with his impressive work ethic, will also set a president for how I want to live my life. I see so many of the same amazing qualities in my Dad, which I know were instilled by poppy. I will miss you -Danny Haessig

To Dave and family. Very sorry to hear that your father passed away. He was part of the many great memories from our Towaco childhood. Particularly, with our Troop 68 scouting. We were both blessed with fathers that wanted to get positively involved in our activities. And most always with smiles on their faces. My sympathies are with you. Most sincerely, Greg Dumas

Thanks Greg. We did have great times growing up with our dads and families in Towaco. So many memories to be cherished.

One of the best memories of my childhood are our trips to Uncle Dave’s house. Riding on the back of one of the motorcycles, the treehouse, the rope swing, playing softball in the open field, the huge built in pool (or it felt huge as a kid). I always hated to leave .. the love felt there was like no other. Uncle Dave you will be missed beyond words.

Thank you Patti. The Smith-Haessig family reunions were great, and one of my best memories with my dad. Don't forget the Haessig-Smith Tug of War. My dad got a big rope for that.
