Kenneth “Ken”
Raymond Haws, age 87, passed away peacefully at home Sunday, January 12, 2014.
He was born January 31, 1926 in Kingfisher, Oklahoma to Floyd Vernon and Mary
Francis Haws.
Ken was raised in the Kingfisher area. He proudly served in the U.S. Marine
Corps during World War II. After returning from the war he began a career in
carpentry. He became a construction superintendent developing commercial sites
such as Long John Silver’s, Love stores, nursing homes, apartment complexes in
OKC and many single family homes.
Ken was a hard worker but his family was his first priority. He loved spending
time with them and you could find him in the middle of any game that was being
played. He was also known for getting in pranks whenever he could. Ken was
an avid reader. There was always a book within reach wherever he was, sneaking
away at times to a book store and reading for hours. He enjoyed going to OU
football games and watching sports on TV.
Ken is survived by two sons: Lawrence Haws of Goldsby, Jonathan Haws and wife
Denise of Washington State; six daughters: Jackquelyn Veith and husband Gene
Edward of Virginia, Cynthia Haws of Tulsa, Shirley Trent and husband Bobby of
OKC, Karen Swopes and husband Donald of Moore, Madge Hutton and husband Gary of
OKC, Becky Pruett and husband Kim of Norman; two brothers: Norman Haws of
Tulsa, Jerry Haws and wife Billie of Kentucky; sister Carol Schick of OKC;
sister-in-law Mildred Logan and husband; brother-in-law Bobby Smith and wife
Dora of Cleveland; thirteen grandchildren and 29 great grandchildren; and many
nieces and nephews and other close friends.
He was preceded in death by his
parents, and wife Norma Lea.
