I had the distint pleasure of spendng a couple of Thanksgivings in Crockett with Barbara and George at a mutual friends ranch n Crockett while he was batteling his cancer. George was very ill on both ocassions but he never gave into the discomfort he was suffering and was always gracious and had his amazing simle, plus being as happy as his situtation would allow. The world was a much sadder place when our friend left this world.

George was truly a PRINCE of a guy if there ever was one. He was the same friendly, down-to-earth, easy-to-be-around, caring person until the day he died. You could ask anyone from LaMarque to College Station to many miles around Crockett where he had his clinic, and everyone who met George had the same impression. We were blessed to know and be close to and to call George one of us.

Shared a lot of memories with Speedy. We grew up on the same street, along with Steve Anderson, Peggy Cole, Robbie Majors, Jackie Foxworth, Nancy Jo Brett, Linda Kalbow, and probably a few others I can't think of right now. Always wanted a go-cart like Speedy's, but he let me drive it a few times. Sold him my VW Bug shortly after graduation, but was ashamed when he and his dad showed up early to pick it up and caught me and my dad siphoning gas out of it since I had just filled up and gas had recently gone up to 45 cents!Speedy was a good friend.

Obituary:
Catherine Carlisle Haas was born May 1, 1949 on Galveston Island and passed away unexpectedly on Friday, February 7, 2020 at her home in Spicewood, Texas. Cathy graduated from LaMarque High School, earned her undergraduate degree at the University of Texas, her Masters degree from North Texas State University and her PhD in Consumer Behavior from the University of Texas in Austin. She taught marketing at UT and the University of Kansas. Cathy had a very successful career as Senior Vice-President/Market Research Director from leading advertising agencies in Dallas, Boston, and Atlanta. In 1990, Cathy started Haas Market Metrics, Inc., a national market research firm whose clients included numerous advertising agencies where she did market research for Simmons Bedding, Alcoa Aluminum, and Kimberly Clark, as well as myriad other clients in high-tech companies, retail chains, banks, hospitals, clothing manufacturers and restaurant chains.
Cathy’s other passion was music! She held piano, organ and handbell positions in Methodist churches from Dallas, Amherst (New Hampshire), Las Vegas, Duluth, GA, Fredericksburg, TX and Marble Falls, TX. One of her great joys was accompanying the Genesis Youth Choir at Duluth First United Methodist Church and going with them on choir tour each summer for the past nine years. She also sang in the Chancel Choir. She had served as the President of United Methodist Women in Duluth and was more recently active in the UMW at the First Methodist Church of Marble Falls.
Cathy was a great cook and the consummate hostess. She loved entertaining and had a large fan club for her “Mama Jean’s” Louisiana gumbo, homemade chili, and deviled eggs. She also was brilliant at crosswords, other word puzzles, and Scrabble, which she and her husband played several times a day.
Cathy loved all animals and put out food for the “woodland animals” each night, which included a raccoon, a possum, four feral cats, two foxes, and at least a dozen deer. She was especially devoted to her 14-year-old calico cat, Aunt Scooter, and the four-year-old twins, Travis and Tyler Rose, who snuggled up beside her in bed each and every night.
Cathy was preceded in death by her parents, Ode and Gloria Carlisle, and her sisters, Claire and Carol.
Cathy is survived by her spouse of 38 years, Tom Haas, her brother-in-law, Leslie Haas and spouse Sherry from Salado, TX; her stepson Clay Haas, spouse Leslie and their daughter, Lexi from Overland Park, KS; stepson Derek Haas, spouse. Kristi and sons Bruno and Augie from Los Angeles, CA and stepson Austin Haas, spouse Yoko from Portland, OR. She had a blessed relationship with her cousins Bettye and Leon Anhaiser, from Sugarland, TX and Barbara and Paul Loyd from Fredericksburg, TX. Cathy will be missed by all of her nieces and nephews and a host of very special friends.

Alfred Danner was a friend and neighbor. He died in a car accident the first year we were out of high school. A man who left us too soon.
