Dag Alfson Hauge
Passed away November 8, 2013 at the age of 79. He was born May 3, 1934 in
Trondheim, Norway. Dag lived in Hamar, Norway as a child and then moved to Oslo
as a teenager. As a child growing up during WWII, he fell in love with airplanes
and set his sights on being a pilot at a very young age. Dag also loved ski
jumping and followed his older brother, Thor, to Montana State University on a
ski jumping scholarship in the 1950's. His love of planes took him to Northrop
Institute in California where he focused on all things aviation. During that
time he met his wife-to-be, Gudrun. In 1961, Dag was offered a job at Boeing and
he and Gudrun moved to Washington State and started their family. In 1963, he
realized his dream job and was hired as a pilot for Northwest Orient Airlines.
During this time he became involved with the opening of Crystal Mountain Ski
Resort as a ski instructor and member of the ski patrol. The family moved to Gig
Harbor in 1967 where they enjoyed many good times on Horsehead Bay with friends.
Boating was a much loved recreational activity for Dag and Gudrun. They sailed
the Hawaiian Islands with friends and had many adventures traveling up the
inside passage to British Columbia and Alaska, where they enjoyed secluded
anchorages and abundant natural beauty. Dag is preceded in death by his wife
Gudrun, brothers Thor and Jens and his parents Alf and Charlotte. He is survived
by his brother, Ketil, his children, grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.
A Celebration of Life will be held at The Weatherly Inn in Tacoma on Sunday
December 8th at 1pm with a reception at the family home following. In lieu of
flowers any remembrances can be made to the Alzheimer's Association.
