William D. Haws' Obituary
William David Haws, age 44, of Ocean View, DE, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, July 22, 2023.
Bill was a skilled carpenter and handyman and was employed by numerous businesses in New Castle and Sussex counties. He cared about his neighbors and friends and was always willing to help with various projects. Many family and friends have his work in their homes. During his youth, he was a very good ice hockey player for two travel teams. He was an avid fisherman who was known by his friends and family as the “Fish Whisperer” who always seemed to catch his share. He loved the beach and fishing and treasured the time spent fly fishing with his brother, Mike. He was also a car enthusiast who won several awards at various showings in Pennsylvania. But beyond all else, he loved his daughter, Gabrielle, “to the moon and back”. She was his pride and joy.
In addition to his parents, Bill is survived by his daughter Gabrielle Haws, brother Joseph Michael (Mike) Haws, his sister Kimberly (Kim) Ann Gordon, his nieces (Sianleigh, Erin and Becca), his nephews (Russell and Cael), his aunt Paulette, his aunt Eileen, and numerous cousins and friends.
Services and interment will be held privately at a later date.
