Thomas G. Haave, age 73 of Cecil, passed away peacefully at home on Monday, November 27, 2017. Tom was born on March 23, 1944 to the late Rupert and Ethel (Petie Burger) of Suring. On February 6, 1970, Tom was united in marriage to his loving wife of 47 years, Patricia Arrick.

Working and traveling throughout the US for the business, they came across Eureka Springs, AR in 1993, where they moved and opened their own shop, until retiring and moving back to Cecil in 2013 to be closer to their two children and three grandchildren. Tom enjoyed both hunting and fishing, tinkering with his glass and spending time with family and friends.
