Bradley T. Haas, 63, died Nov. 17, 2023, while on duty as a security officer at The New Hampshire Hospital.
Brad was the son of Donald and Virginia Haas of Franklin. He grew up in Franklin, and attended Franklin High School. He went on to serve his country as a military police officer in the U.S. Army before fulfilling his childhood dream of becoming a police officer in his hometown. Brad served his community for 26 years, rising through the ranks to ultimately preside as chief of police for the city of Franklin.
After retirement, Brad worked for the U.S. Postal Service, and most recently as a security officer for the state of NH at The New Hampshire Hospital.
Brad was a quiet and humble man who loved spending time with his son. They shared a love for aviation and U.S. history. Brad could often be found with a good book in his hands. He will always be remembered for his quiet demeanor, and simple acts of kindness.
Brad was predeceased by his father Donald Haas. He leaves behind his mother, Virginia Haas of Franklin; sister Cindy Bronson of Wilmington, North Carolina; sister Deborah Freni and husband Joseph of Franklin; sister Sharon Sorette and husband Bruce of Epsom; and his beloved son Connor Haas of Somersworth; as well as his nieces and nephews Jeff Seavey, Dylan Freni, Austin Sorette, Mackenzie Sorette, Callum Bronson and Nikki Bronson.
A police escort through the city of Franklin on Monday, Nov. 27, at 4:30 p.m. will proceed past the Franklin Police Department on Central Street and continue to the Winnisquam High School in Tilton where the public is invited to attend a memorial ceremony in honor of Brad beginning at 5 p.m.
A burial with full military honors will be held privately at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, a donation in Brad's memory may be made to Special Olympics, 2600 Virginia Ave. NW, 11th floor, Washington, DC 20037, or support.specialolympics.org/a/tribute-gifts.
