On behalf of the Haugen family - He will be greatly missed my all who knew that only he was a wonderful person to really know and that he always had a very kind heart and something wonderful to say to you at all times of the day good or bad. It will be very hard to go to work and not see and two boys always working side by side like a good boy. All in that being said I would like to say that he will always be in our prayers and be greatly missed by us all who loved and adored this wonderful person - we love you Brian.
