  INFO	Frank was born to William DeHaas and Clara Workman. He grew up on a Camas Prairie farm just outside of Grangeville, along with his seven brothers and three sisters. He helped work the family farm until he joined the U.S. Army. He married his childhood sweetheart and eternal best friend, Rosella Gortsema, on Sept. 6, 1951. In 1952, he was drafted into the Army. They moved to California and then to North Carolina, where he was trained in the communications section in an artillery battalion. Upon returning to the Camas Prairie, they farmed in the Greencreek area. In the winters, Frank and his brother Marion built several houses and did various carpentry jobs in the Grangeville area. He was a road commissioner for the Union Highway District and retired in 1997. Since the age of 18 he did maintenance work for the Christian Reformed Church, where he was a lifelong member. He always stayed busy fixing things for himself and others. He was a detailed craftsman; he enjoyed woodworking, especially making scroll saw creations with his grandchildren. He was a well-respected farmer. One of his greatest compliments from his neighbors was, "Frank, we appreciate that you never fired up your combine or tractor on Sunday." Dad always reserved Sunday for the Sabbath. He was a man of great faith, no matter the circumstance. Frank was quite the storyteller. He enjoyed telling stories to his grandchildren of the "olden days" and sharing stories with siblings about fond memories of their past. Grandkids were his life. He talked to them often. He was always ready to provide a necessary ear and pass his wisdom if necessary. Most of his grandchildren learned how to drive a tractor on his old restored John Deere AR under Grandpa's watchful eye. His last wish was to be able to drive his 4520 John Deere tractor to the recent June farm sale in Cottonwood. Dad was able to drive the last mile and said "it sure felt good," with the most genuine smile. Frank was preceded in death by his parents and his siblings John, Gerrit, Richard, Marion, Gary and Robert DeHaas, Betty Forseth and Patricia Fischer.
