HENRY HAUGAN

~ HENRY HAUGAN ~
A short time ago, friends and family gathered at Cook’s Chapel to celebrate the life of this well liked and respected man. “May the work I’ve done speak for me”.

I believe a man’s greatest
possession is his dignity
and that no calling bestows
this more than farming.

His Life Lived…
His Life Cherished…
His Life Honoured.
