Our Deepest Sympathy for the loss of James V. Haspel, (our nephew) Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Haspel, Lucy, Jacob and Joshua May you find strength, peace and comfort in the warm and loving memories that will always live in your heart.
Lu, I’m so sorry to learn of Jimmy’s passing. He was such a great guy, and I would have given anything to have been there with you at the funeral. I keep thinking of the last time I saw Jimmy at your house when we were home a couple of years ago. We didn’t know he was sick yet, and I’ll always remember how we sat and talked for hours. What a wonderful time it was for us all. I was so proud to be the maid of honor at your wedding so many years ago, and I’ll never forget Jimmy’s smile and great sense of humor. You and your family are in our constant thoughts and prayers. Please know that even though the miles separate us, my heart is with you today and always. Love, Yvonne

LORI, SO SORRY TO HEAR OF THE LOSS OF YOUR BROTHER…KEVIN DOAK
I was so sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. We graduated together and I can not tell you one time when I would see him that he wouldn’t have a smile on his face and always great me with “Hi Debbie, how are you?” I pray that God will give you strength during this difficult time and the memories you have of Jim will bring you comfort.
Jim was a rare breed. I’m sitting here looking at our 13 yr old allstar baseball picture,and his smile emplifies his true self. I remember his pitching motion and the way he thru the ball like it was yesterday. I will miss him like a part of my life. but I know he is in a better place than what this world has become. And thats why God took him. Johnny Monski

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Haspel, Lori, Cliff, Lucy, Joshua, and Jacob, I remember Jim fondly when we were all kids playing on Morgan Drive. I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing and wish you comfort and peace as he lives on in the hearts and memories of all who loved him. Love, Donna
Lucinda, I am sorry to hear of Jim’s passing, and want to pass along to you and your family my condolences. I have known Jim and his family farther back than I can remember, so it is quite a loss to hear of his passing. I wish you and your family the best during this time of sorrow.
Dear Lucy, Jake, and Josh, I hope that you remember me. I worked for you several years ago at the Knights. I was talking about Jim while at Bella Italia with Guy and his wife and they told me about his passing. I am so sorry for your loss. Jim was a wonderful man and I have many fond memories of Jim, as well as each of you in that kitchen at the Knights. I wish I had found out sooner so that I could have come to the visitation. My thoughts are with you and Jim will never be forgotten. Sincerely, Mandy Merico
Lucy and family, So very sorry to hear of Jims passing. I recently had a great conversation with him at the KC while doing a food inspection for the catering business. He was such a great guy and will sadly be missed. Sincerely, Sam Greco Hancock County Health Dept.
The Haspel Family: The world lost a good man in Jim. He was always a pleasant person and easy to talk to. Most of all I will remember him as one of the best pitchers I ever faced. Jim Horstman and Family
