                   IN MEMORY OF COUNCILMAN JIM HAAKE

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. IKE SKELTON

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 3, 1999

  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, it is with deep sadness that I inform the 
House of the death of Councilman James B. Haake of Jefferson City, MO.
  A lifelong resident of the Jefferson City area, Councilman Haake 
graduated from St. Peters High School before serving in the Navy during 
the Korean war. From 1957 to 1962, he was employed by the Jefferson 
City Fire Department. He owned and operated Riteway Limousine Service 
from 1961 to 1990. For the last 9 years he operated Riteway Courier 
Service and the Big Dipper.
  Councilman Haake was an active member in the community, serving the 
Second Ward on the Jefferson City Council for the past 16 years. He was 
a member of St. Peters Church, a charter member and past president of 
the evening Lions Club and a past district governor of the Lions Club 
International, District 26B. He also received the Melvin Jones 
Fellowship Award from the Lions Club International.
  During Jim's tenure on the Jefferson City Council, he displayed 
common sense and worked hard for his constituents. He was a no-nonsense 
councilman, and he will be truly missed by everyone who had the 
privilege to know him. I know the Members of the House will join me in 
extending heartfelt condolences to his wife, Catherine Fiend; his son, 
Charles; his two daughters, Karen and Christa; his two brothers, and 
his five grandchildren.
