Obituary from the Idaho Statesman 4/18/13 Glenn A. Haar 1957 - 2013 Glenn Albert Haar left this life far too soon on Sunday, April 14, 2013. He was diagnosed 6 months ago with a brain tumor and he fought this battle the same as he had lived; with valiant determination, dignity, and self-less love for others. He was 56. He was born March 16, 1957 in Gettysburg, South Dakota, to Milton and Irene Haar, the youngest of five children. At the age of 5, he moved to Triumph, Idaho. He attended schools in the Hailey/Ketchum area, graduating from Wood River High School in 1975. He attended Boise State University, majoring in Business Administration Information Sciences, graduating in 3 ½ years in the Honors Program. During his studies, he began an internship program with the State of Idaho. Upon graduation he was offered employment with the State Auditor's Office. He served 35 years as a dedicated employee for the State of Idaho, the last 31 years being with the State Tax Commission. Glenn loved his work and enjoyed the people he worked with. He was a true professional and had a strong work ethic. In 1999, Glenn married the love of his life and his best friend, Linda Rasmussen, and became dad to Lindsay, Jared, and Brennan. As part of his marriage vows he promised them that he would love them as if they were his own children. And he did. His greatest joy however came later when he became Grampa to Jonas and Addison. Nothing made him happier than having them in his life. Glenn was an amazing, peaceful warrior. He had such a profound effect on everyone he touched. His life values were compassion and tolerance, and he taught them by the example he lived his life. He was kind to everyone he met and was loved by all. He will truly be missed by everyone who knew him. He loved cars, computers, and conversations. He loved to laugh and had a great sense of humor. Glenn was a life-long learner and a voracious reader. He loved to travel whether it was throughout Idaho, the United States, or foreign countries. He loved people, but most of all, he loved his family. He is survived by his loving wife, Linda Haar, his children, Lindsay (Jared) Stanger, State College, PA, Jared (Jamie) Waters, and Brennan Waters, all of Portland. He also leaves behind his precious grandchildren, Jonas and Addison Stanger and their soon to be born baby brother. Also surviving Glenn are his siblings, Gaylon (Beckie) Haar, Houston, TX, Gary (Peggy) Haar, Boise, Shirley (Frank) Teuscher, Challis, ID, Sharon Williams, Hailey, his beloved brother, Mike Williams, Caldwell, and also his parents-in-law, Gary and Carma Rasmussen, Mapleton, UT, whom loved him as their own son, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Funeral services will be Saturday, April 20th, 2013 at Alden Waggoner Funeral Chapel in Boise, ID. A viewing will be held from 11:00-12:45 and the service at 1:00 p.m. Family and friends are invited to attend. Burial will be at Dry Creek Cemetery with a luncheon to follow at the LDS Chapel at 2650 S Five Mile Road.
