Leo Andrew Haag, age 98, passed away June 13, 2012, in Sequim.
He was born on a homestead in Twin Bridges, Montana, on November 17, 1913, to Christian and Caroline Haag. His youth was spent schooling, farming and logging with his family.
He entered the Navy in 1932 and was stationed on the USS Argonne during the bombing of Pearl Harbor. On a wartime cruise to Australia, he fell in love with Caroline Leone Murphet. Seven years later, they were married, and she joined Leo in the United States after the war.
They raised three children, Cheryl Louise (Haag) Yocum, Kendall Andrew Haag and Nancy Ann Haag, with love and kindness.
Life was an adventure for Leo. The military transferred him and his family to Alaska in 1952. In 1962, they homesteaded along Long Lake in Willow, Alaska.
He enjoyed fishing, both sport and commercial; prospecting for gold in the numerous streams along the Alaskan highway; and growing hothouse tomatoes. He thrived on activity and new experiences and loved to shoot the breeze.
In 1984, his first wife passed away, and Leo was at loose ends until he met and married Marjorie Brandt of Sequim. They have enjoyed numerous road trips together, rock hounding in Nevada, Arizona and California, and settled in Big River, California, for a number of years before returning to Sequim. They just joyfully celebrated their 26th wedding anniversary.
Leo was preceded in death by his parents, Christian and Caroline Haag; his first wife, Caroline Leone Haag; his son, Kendall Andrew Haag; his sister, Anna Bernice Van Geystel; and his brother, Paul G. Haag.
He is survived by his wife, Marjorie Brandt Haag; his daughters, Cheryl Yocum and Nancy Haag; and his stepchildren, Mike Brandt, Jim Brandt and Kathy Brandt Tugwell. He is also survived by numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
Leo will receive a military service, and his ashes will be scattered in the Pacific, where he spent many memorable years. A celebration of his life will follow at a date to be determined.
