Obituary : James George Hauf

Bluffton, South Carolina - Jim died peacefully at his home on January 5, 2022. He was 81.

Jim was born in Baltimore, MD the son of Edith Dent Hauf and Joseph H. Hauf

He graduated from Loyola High School and attended Loyola University before joining the Marine Corps. He graduated from the Naval Air Training Command as a Naval Aviator. He served as a helicopter pilot in Vietnam from 1963-1964 and received commendations for bravery.

After the war, Jim joined Delta Airlines and flew as Captain around the US and Europe until his retirement in 1997. In 1962 he met the love of his life, Judy Cooper and they were married in 1963. They were longtime residents in the Hilton Head/Bluffton area.

Jim and Judy enjoyed traveling, entertaining and football. He had a classic sense of humor and always enjoyed a good joke, on himself or others. He was fastidious, almost to a humorous fault. He was forever proud of his Marine Corps membership and celebrated that relationship. He was a great friend to all who were close to him and always gave more than he received in friendship and generosity.

Jim is survived by his sister, Pamela Hauf Brooks, his son-in-law, Jason Brown and grandchildren, Grace and Nicholas. Jim was predeceased by his wife, Judy, and his daughter, Patty Brown.
