Paul L Haass Obituary
Paul Larry Haass of Middletown, De, age 79 went passed away on May 15, 2021. He was born in Ridgely, Md, the son of the late Paul Haass and Elsie Mae (Schmidt) Haass-Hudson. He is also preceded in death by his wife Beatrice Jean (Porter) Haass, step-father Carlton Amos Hudson, step-son John Yearwood and two grandchildren Mark and Carrie Haass.
In his early years he worked side by side with his father learning the construction trade. Later father and son started Haass & Son Construction Company. He served a short term in the Merchant Marines where he learned to be a steam operator. He then went to work as a steam engineer at Chrysler Corporation. Upon retiring he found his passion as a game dealer at Dover Downs Hotel and Casino.
As a child and young man he went by Larry, since his fathers name was Paul. Later in life he went by Paul and Phantom. His favorite names were Daddy and Poppy. Whichever name you knew him by, his smile is likely the first thing that comes to mind. He was an old soul who loved people and believed in doing business face to face and with a handshake. He loved life and cherished his time with family.
Paul is survived by five children: Sandra Ann Miller of North East, MD, Paul Larry Haass, Jr. (Darla) of Charleston, MD, Linda Sue Haass of North East MD, Paula Mae Smith (Neil) of Camden, DE, Tami Louise Wygant (Mark) of Camden, DE. He is also survived by 13 grandchildren: Amanda Haass, Danny Yearwood, Johnny Yearwood, Traci Yearwood, Jessica Whitlock, Joel Whitlock, Julianna Smith, Jonah Smith, Joshua Smith, Jacob Smith, Laci Wygant, Alex Wygant, Owen Wygant and 14 great grandchildren: Jade Sjolie, Nicholas Decker, Christopher Vanhorn, Brody Yearwood, Hannah Whitlock-VanHekle, Braden Yearwood, Caydence Vanhorn, Audrey Yearwood, Beau Whitlock-VanHekle, Blake Whitlock-VanHekle, Luke Whitlock, Harper Curley, Bryce Whitlock-VanHekle and Braedyn Whitlock.
