WC loses a good friend

Ellis Walentine

I got word today that Greg Haugen, long-time turner and moderator of our forums recently passed away. He was a member of Coulee Region Woodturners in Western Wisconsin, and the father of three daughters. Here's a brief testimonial from his friend Rich Egan:

Greg died of a heart attack Feb 6th. He was 41. He had a lovely family, and was mostly a stay-home dad to his three girls. He was a great member of our local turning club, always willing to share of his time and expertise. 100% dedication, endless patience, great sense of humor. A small group of us from the club attended services today. I think we’re still trying to come to grips with the suddenness of it all.


Greg was an avid supporter of WoodCentral and co-moderator of our forums, primarily this one for several years. My deepest condolences to his dear family.

I can't believe he went so young. People tend to come and go on these boards but mostly it's because they lose interest. I hate it when they pass on especially when they are so young. My condolences to the family.

I met Greg a number of years ago and we exchanged gifts. We corresponded for quite a while.

I am shocked to learn how young he was. I am saddened at his loss and my prayers and condolences go to his family.

How very sad to lose someone so young and so suddenly. I had a few, very pleasant, interactions with him over the years. He sure seemed like a decent person.

My sincere condolences and deepest sympathy to his family and friends.
