Franklin Paul "Frank" Haberland

From Robin Hackman I was a neighbor to Frank & Ruth, living just one house apart. Ruthie was the first person to welcome us into the neighborhood by bringing over a delicious loaf of bread. At a New Year’s Day party at my house we had gag gifts. Frank won a pair of googly-eyed glasses & made us laugh uproariously when he wore them intermittently throughout the party. I’m very sorry for the Haberland family loss. Ruth & Frank were great neighbors. Sincere condolences, Robin

Frank was part of the wildlife management profession, a long-time deer program manager and much admired by his peers. I was proud to be his friend of more than 50 years and enjoyed many memorable events with him. High on my list of great memories took place on the patio of some northern resort. I joined Frank at the railing overlooking the property and asked him, "How's it going?" He didn't answer me right away, pausing for 10-15 seconds. Finally, still looking the property over, he said, "You know, I've never shot a humming bird. I never could get a bead on them!" Frank had some bazaar thoughts!

On behalf of the Badger Honor Flight Board and all our volunteers, we extend our deepest condolences to you all, the family of Frank Haberland. We are forever grateful for Frank's service to our great country. What an honor it was for us to take him on his well-deserved trip of a lifetime. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all

Dear Mary, Annie, Catherine and extended Haberland Family- I had the pleasure of being both Frank and Ruth’s physician until my retirement in 2011. And they were both wonderful people; friendly, caring, and positive. Their spirit was infectious. I always enjoyed visiting with them, and I am thankful that they both crossed my path in life. A memorial in Frank’s name was given to the Historical First Lutheran Church in Middleton. Peace, Greg Sheehy
