|
|
Guadalupe Valley Electrical Cooperative; he went on to realize his |
|
|
childhood dream of becoming a state game warden with the Texas Parks |
|
|
and Wildlife Department, and he attended Texas A&M University for |
|
|
his law enforcement and wildlife training; commissioned in February |
|
|
1968, he spent a year in Victoria before transferring to Caldwell |
|
|
County, where he served until his retirement on October 31, 1993; he |
|
|
then pursued another long-held dream and worked as a cattle rancher |
|
|
for several years before selling his business in 2000; in his |

|
leisure time, he enjoyed fishing, gardening, and traveling, |
|
|
especially to Alaska and the Panama Canal; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In all his endeavors, Mr. Haug enjoyed the love and |
|
|
support of his wife, the former Beverly Jean Haecker, with whom he |
|
|
shared five decades of marriage; he took great pride in their two |
|
|
children, Laurie and Travis, and seven grandchildren; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although Roger Haug is deeply missed, he has left |
|
|
his family and friends with a wealth of memories that they will |
|
|
forever treasure; now, therefore, be it |
|
