Douglas Henry Haack, age 67, unexpectedly passed

CO, where he lived. He was a graduate of Regis University in Denver, CO, where
he earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. Following
graduation, he married his high school sweetheart Teresa (Terri) Ann (née

Following a career as Director of Economic
Development at the Boulder, CO, Chamber of Commerce, Doug spent several years
as a flight instructor at the Williamsburg, VA, regional airport before
achieving a lifelong dream of becoming a commercial airline pilot. He spent
many years as a First Officer for United Airlines, and then as a Captain for
Delta Airlines, and he was also a proprietor of his own small business, Digital
Photogenics, LLC., where he worked until his retirement.
Doug was a lifelong skier, avid golfer,
professional photographer, and an accomplished traditional and graphic artist.
He is survived by his wife Terri, son Brian, brother Daniel (Bonnie), and
numerous in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins, and loving friends. He was preceded
in death by both parents, Robert and Jane, and eldest brother David. Funeral services
will take place at Holy Family Catholic Church on Saturday, March 18, at 9:30
AM, immediately followed by burial services at Mount Olivet Cemetery.
