Leonard Gustav Haack

Leonard G. Haack was born on October 13, 1919 to Julius & Emma Haack in Polson. Leonard passed away October 23, 2014 at the age of 95.

During the war effort Leonard worked for North American Airlines building airplanes in California. He returned to the Polson area to resume farming and also met his future wife. Sadie and Leonard celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary August 31, 2014. They made Polson their home. Leonard worked as a mechanic for several car dealerships and was a boiler engineer for the local Lumber Mill located in Polson. Leonard and Sadie spent many enjoyable years riding with other Harley riders on the Gypsy Tours. His 1948 Harley is now on display at the Miracle of America Museum locally. It was Leonard's wish that his bike in original condition be placed on display for others to enjoy. He was most happy when riding his Harley, driving his tractor doing field work, or hunting and fishing. He was always willing to help out a neighbor. In 1960 Leonard and Sadie took over the farm in the Turtle Lake area as Emma and Julius Haack retired. Until 2013 Leonard was still living on the farm. In July of 2013, Leonard joined Sadie at the Pines of Mission Assisted Living facility in St. Ignatius.

Leonard was preceded in death by his parents, and 2 brothers.

Leonard is survived by his spouse Sadie Haack, children; Susan (Willie) Aders Billings, LeRoy (Patty) Haack of Laurel, Ken (Mary) Haack of Arvada Co.; seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

Services for Leonard will be held Wednesday October 29th at 1:00 pm at Grogan Funeral Home located at 101 6th Ave. East in Polson. Burial will follow at Lakeview Cemetery. Donations may be sent to Miracle of America Museum, or any of the local law enforcement.
