About 20 years ago I worked with Allen at the Grafton beet piler. Allen was such a good worker. I always looked forward to him coming into the scale house to warm up or on his break. We had many good laughs together during beet harvest. He will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I was very sorry to hear of Allen's sudden passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with his daughter, parents, siblings and all his friends and relatives. We surely do feel the geographic distance at times like this and wish we could be there, but now our hearts are with you all.

I have many memories of Al, he always managed to abscond with a apple pie or a plate of enchiladas, I had made, I met him last winter when I cut Kennedis hair, I fell in love with that sweet baby.She truly was the apple of her daddy's eye, I will truly miss spending time with Al, he was Packers fan and love to harass Viking fans.Al was a very good cook, and I was fortunate enough to sample his homemade buns. I wish we could have had more time with him, He will be greatly missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with Kennedi and Als family, Al was very special to alot of us in Sawyer, he especially loved to tease me, and called me Tequila, or Chick, it was a given that if I baked a pie or made some food Al was going to abscond with some or all of it, We would go to Minot on the assumption we were going shopping and usually we would end up at Nola's.

As I read the rest of the family’s memories of Lloyd and Martha, it also takes me back to my childhood when we would visit the farm. I remember riding the horses, playing in the barn, and how Lloyd would squirt milk in the kitten’s mouth right from the cow. Because we were “city kids”, the farm was such a different & exciting place to be. They always made us feel so welcome and we always enjoy our time spent there. My grandma and mom always included them in our family get-togethers, and when they came to Fosston, it was always exciting to see them.
When my husband and I drove to Park River last week to see Lloyd, he was very ill. I hope he knew we were there and how much we cared. It was nice to visit with Art, Myrtle, Arvid & Olive. Lloyd & Martha will always hold a special place in my heart. My deepest sympathy.
Love from their great niece,

We are so sorry that the weather did not co-operate with are trip to Park River this morning for Lloyd's funeral. Over the years, we have gone there many times to visit with Martha, or "Dolly" as we called her, and lloyd. They were such enjoyable times. In my younger days I remember spending a few days each summer with them, both of them always so willing to see that you had an enjoyable time when there. Martha always had so many goodies and food to fill me up. I grew up with Dolly and was her and Lloyd's attendant at their wedding in Oklee.They were such a happy couple. Lloyd was always so kind and helpful with her later in life during the years her health failed.
I am so glad we, my daughters and I were able to go to Lloyd's 90th birthday party. He looked so good,and we got to visit with him for the last time.
Clarence and I wish we could have been there today for the service. Our sincere condolences to all of Lloyd's loved ones.
Sincerely, Lois and Clarence

To the Haas Family I extend my Sincere Sympathy in the loss of your brother and Uncle Lloyd. I will definitely miss his phone call this Christmas as I know many others will too. With the miles between us, and age creeping up on us, it became difficult to have the personal visits of our earlier years. I never got to visit the Haas farm too often, but it was always an anticipated trip for my mom, Martha,and myself.Mom was always anxious to visit with her sister and family and I and Martha were just as excited to see our aunt Gusta and Uncle George and our cousins. Sorry I cannot be with you tomorrow, but hopefully we can arrange to have a family get together some time next summer.
May you find comfort in your many Special Memories, and may God continue to Bless and keep you all in His care.

After graduation I saw Darrell one time at the re-union. About a year ago he called one night. We had a great visit. We talked of good old Milton and high school days. I reminded him of the study halls I spent filling in his "scraggly beard want to be" with make-up. After 2 hours he said he felt like we'd just stepped out of school for the day. He was a great class mate and I will miss him.

I have been thinking alot these last few days, about a lot of things, a lot of memories. I am not going to be able to come to Park River on Saturday due to a prior commitment to my Granddaughter Linnea who is in College in Ames, Ia. I am mostly saddened by the fact that I will not be able to be with my father's family at this time. I too have soooooo many memories of the farm, and the many, many times we were all there. Believe me,in those days getting to the farm was a major endeavor. No air conditioning in the cars, and only 2 lane roads to drive and it was 500 miles, a long treck of 10 hours without stopping, but oh was it worth it!! I remember riding on the field roads I think Arvid was driving (might have been Luther) and I didn't understnad why they always honked when they went up the hills. I was informed that if there was a car coming from the other direction(these were field roads, one lane only)it was a warning so we wouldn't meet head on. Personally I didn't think the horn honking thing was gonna help since we didn't ever slow down!! I think that was somewhat of a Haas family trait. None of them EVER slowed down, not in life and not in cars. : ) One summer Linda and I were promised a horse if we came to spend the summer. Well I was sure one was coming home with me, Lloyd meant that one would be "available for the summer." We stayed 6 weeks and it was great fun. We even cleaned the barn like one would clean the house. We watched Lloyd milk the cows by hand and no matter how hard I ever tried I never could get anything out of those cows!! Then we watched as he separated the milk in the separator, what great fun. I know my father (Art)instilled such a great love for that place that we could only ever think of it as heaven on earth!! I remember Martha feeding "Hank" she never thought he got enough to eat, she would say "oh Henry you must have some more!!!"And she would put more on his plate and he obliged by eating it all. Funny that guy never got fat!! Must have been all the fresh air. Then when I married for the first time I took my new husband to the farm on our honeymoon. What better a place to take him than that wonderful heavenly place of my dad's youth. (And some of mine too). We even were given the bed of honor. Lloyd and Martha let us stay in their room. It makes me sad to think of all of that family that is no longer there. So many of my father's siblings have passed on, I hope they are all rejoicing together!! So many memories of such a close family, and how my father loved them all. Arnold's gone, Lloyd's gone, Edith is gone, My dad Art is gone, Vernon is gone, Fred is gone. Please may each and every one of you that is able to read this know how much I will miss being with you all, my Uncle and my Aunts, and all my cousins and their families. I grew up knowing how wonderful you all were...why else would my father have loved you all so much?

I think back of all those memories when I was a kid and "shipped" off to the farm for the summer. I LOVED IT. playing in the "barn, getting scrubbed raw in a tub that was heated on a wood stove., bible camp nights, watching harvest, (not working harvest) and having livestock pets for the summer and going to Park River for a malt. . I miss those days but I have memories of them that will never pass away. Thanks Lloyd and Martha ,Thanks Grandma and Grandpa, Thanks Arnold and Helen for what you gave me as a child that I cherish as an adult. . I think of those days and I sometimes wish I could go back and do it all over again.God Bless and thanks for the memories.

Many of my favorite childhood memories come from time spent with Uncle Lloyd and Aunt Martha. I remember swimming in the horse trough, looking for wild kittens in the barn, and finding good hiding places inside the house. I spent my first time away from home alone with Lloyd and Martha. I forgot Lloyd's advice not to point at the scales during the livestock auction because they might accept my pointing as a bid. In the end, we left the auction after Lloyd had to talk our way out of the winning bid I placed on a pig. I miss Lloyd so much, but I am so thankful to know that he is in heaven praising Jesus with Aunt Martha!

Our last visit to see Lloyd before he became ill was August,2007. I think Lloyd had a wonderful time. We took him on a ride through the farm. Lloyd directed us down many different roads as he recalled many memories. He was so impressed with the crops. Our kids loved playing pool at Lloyd's house and he was so good to them. We will greatly miss our time him.
