A dear man, a funny soul. I will miss our chats. Blessed is the memory of the righteous. James Lillis
At 16 yrs. old, Mr. Haesche was my first boss and mentor. He taught me a lot about life and people. His customers loved him. He had a great personality. Walt you will be greatly missed, I’ll never forget you. .RIP.
Did some charter fishing in Noank with cousin Walter along with my father Arthur Haesche. Walter preferred beach casting to trolling. Butch and my son Brian did a lot of hockey playing growing up.
Sorry, I will not be able to come from Maine where I now live to services.

I am a fisherman that has met Walt a few times over the years on the beach. Used to see him at Dee’s on occasion and he always had a smile. We would talk fishing and he had such enthusiasm. He will be missed by all that knew him. The entire striped-bass family sends their condolences .
My thoughts and prayers are with all in the Haesche Family. -Chris L
It’s been said that boys learn in two ways: by watching their father’s actions and by listening to his words.Although we were not blessed with the opportunity to meet Walter A. Haesche, we can see through the heart, words, and actions of his son Butch that he was a great man.Our prayers and heartfelt sympathies go out to the Haesche family.
Prayers and sympathy to all the Haesche Family. I will always remember sharing a coffee with Walt in the
gas station every morning and our games and trips in Hamden Youth Hockey.
So sorry to hear about Walter. He was a sweet man, always cheerful when we saw him.
With deepest sympathy,
Aunt Rose and Uncle Peter
Walt looked after me when my mom died from a long battle with cancer. I was 25. He taught me the tricks of the landscaping trade, he was very experienced and I was just starting out. To this day I use a lot of the marketing strategies Walt taught me back in the early nineties. I took a trip with Walt, Butch and Pitch one summer to Cape Cod, we chased Blues and Stripers up and down the beach all week. What an epic trip. I will miss him greatly. My love and prayers to Butch, Mike, Billy and Melissa.
