Doug was born March 1st, 1941, in North Bend Nebraska, to Clarence and Lillian Haase. He was raised in North Bend and graduated from North Bend High School. On July 2nd, 1960, he married Carol Kaplan. Doug served in the United States Navy and was stationed in the Philippines, San Diego and San Francisco, CA. After living in San Diego with his wife, they moved to Millard for a brief time before settling in Fremont to raise their family. Doug worked for Western Electric/AT&T/Lucent for more than 40 years.
Doug enjoyed bowling, tennis, and in retirement he loved to golf as often as he could. He enjoyed spending time at the lake, trips with the Corvette club, winters in Yuma Arizona, farming with a lifelong buddy, or just getting together with friends.
Doug was a man of many talents, everything from playing the saxophone in high school or bass guitar in the 70's, singing in a barbershop quartet in the 80's, and in his later years you could always find him sitting at his little desk in the garage creating ''something''.
However, his greatest talent was being a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend.
He is preceded in death by his wife Carol and his parents.
He is survived by his children: Jim (Tonya) Haase, Barb (Scott) Feldhacker. Grandchildren: Caroline Haase, Austin (Whitney) Haase, Torey Kogel, Dillon Feldhacker and Wyatt (Maren) Feldhacker. Great-grandchildren: Anna, Jude, John, Vincent, Weston and Kaplan. Niece: Nicole (Dan) Dolan (Charli, Addison, George) and many dear friends.
