"George R. Haglund MARQUETTE – George R. Haglund, age 78, of 6381 U.S. 41 South, Beaver Grove, fell asleep in death on Saturday, May 8, 2010, surrounded by his family and friends, and will look forward to a resurrection back on this beautiful earth. Born January 6, 1932 in Skandia, a son of Alfred and Dorothy (Hawkins) Haglund, George was raised in Skandia and was a lifelong Marquette area resident. At an early age, he went to work in the woods at his father’s side in the logging industry. Following his time spent working with his father in the woods he went to work for Cliff Dow as a heavy equipment operator. Later, George was employed with Cleveland Cliffs where he worked as a lube tech until his retirement in 1994. In his spare time, he enjoyed deer hunting and rabbit hunting with his beagles, camping, traveling, and woodworking. He loved spending time outdoors and could usually be found working in his garden or working on the yard with his tractor. George’s greatest love was spending time with his wife, Nina, and his wonderful children and grandchildren. Survivors include his wife, Nina, with whom he shared 59 wonderful years of marriage; two daughters, Beverly (Kris) Skoglund of Skandia and Beth (Ken) Tritt of Harvey; two sons, Ronald (Billie) Haglund of Skandia and Larry (Leanne) Haglund of Harvey; ten grandchildren, Peter Skoglund, Andrew (Jeanette) Skoglund, Paul (Stephany) Skoglund, Dustin (Amber) Haglund, Molly Haglund, Tammy (Trey) Huddle, Kristy LaMere, Crystal Thomas, Heather Thomas and Nickolas Tritt; eleven great-grandchildren; his sister, Margaret (Robert) Swenor; two brothers, Oscar (Mary) Haglund and David (Gloria) Haglund. He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Richard, Robert, Harold, Fred and Floyd Haglund; two sisters, Betty Wallenslager and Bernice Haglund; and a granddaughter, Amy Haglund. A memorial talk of comfort will be given by Gary John at the Marquette Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses on Saturday, May 15, at 2:00 pm. A gathering and reception to celebrate George’s life will follow at the Skandia Township Hall, Skandia. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to Lake Superior Hospice, 914 W.
