Unfortunately, he passed away in 1995 before an interview could be recorded. Soon after joining the staff in the early 2000s, I reached out to his widow, Frances Alberta Haas, in the hopes that she would share her eyewitness account and discuss the life and career of her late husband. Unfortunately, she was uncomfortable appearing on camera and declined an interview. She passed away in 2011. I was incredibly grateful that their son, Robert Haas, agreed to an interview the next year to talk about his late father's career at The Dallas Morning News and share the family's account of the assassination. \r\n\r\nLess than two years before his death, \"Buster\" Haas participated in a 1993 panel discussion with other journalists at Southern Methodist University.
