William T Hare

William Travis Hare, 87, was born July 9, 1933 in Silsbee, TX to Emory Lee and Viola Coudrain Hare.  He passed away July 22, 2020 in Beaumont, TX.

Travis was a hard-working man of many talents and was always there to help a person in need.  He worked as a welder and retired from Shaffer/N L Industries in 1985 after 18 years of service.  He loved to hunt and fish, but more than anything, he loved his Lord, his family and his friends.  He always had a pocket full of candy for children and adults, too.  He was a loyal and trustworthy person that could always be depended on.

Travis proudly served his country during the Korean Conflict in the US Navy.  He was a member of Cornerstone Baptist Church in Kountze.

Mr. Hare is preceded in death by his parents; brothers, E L Haire, Edward Hare and Marshall Hare and his son David Hare.

Surviving him is his wife of 56 years, Andra Perkins Hare of Kountze; daughters Betty Mitchell of Abilene and Danelle Haynes and husband Robert of Vidor; son Travis D. Hare and wife Eva of Kountze; brothers Montie Beard and wife Tracy of Kountze, Ray Haire of Buna; sister Fay Barnett of Nederland; seven grandchildren, fifteen great-grandchildren and one great, great-grandchild.  He is also survived by many nephews, cousins and all his grand pups!
