Condolences from the entire Wheeler family. The Hanessians were terrific neighbors during the 1970’s. It seems like yesterday and we remember Haig fondly. Henry Wheeler is now 100 years old and joins in our remembrance of Haig and sends his love to Ann and all of the Hanessians. – Jim Wheeler
Remembering Haig from their days in Summit County Coloardo, and happy times in Asheville and Ft. Lauderdale. Loved watching him play poker on a cruise and his wonderful laugh. He was a trooper these past few years, not letting his health and limitations get in the way of his golf game and trips to the poker table.We will miss his good nature, and all around special friendship. Love to Ann and all the kids.
The Marshall family loved Mr. Hanessian. He was such a kind gentleman. He and my Dad were longtime golf buddies and ‘boy scouts’ room mates. To say they had a lot of fun would be an understatement. Our sincerest condolences and prayers for the Hanessian family.
