Dr Hauke was the physician that delivered my first son in 1980. I was so impressed with him. His mannerism was professional, down to earth, humorous, and kind man. I tried to find him but unable to until I saw his obituary. What a shame he died so young. He was the best of the best physicians around.

Dr. Hauke delivered my son after a very difficult pregnancy and I will never forget him holding up my healthy 10 lb 6 oz son and proclaiming “Wow, what a whopper!”. He was a wonderful doctor and I’m sure he will be missed by family and friends.

Dr. Hauke was an amazing, unassuming doctor. He was always kind and treated women nicely no matter their background. He was humble in the fact that he didn’t try to believe he could control the force of labor. He was the only MD I ever called to a room for delivery without checking the cervix. I told him the patient said she’s going to turn over and push and deliver the baby. He believed me and the patient, came right down, we set up the room, broke down the bed, and had a baby in the next few minutes. I appreciated his faith in me and the patient. Through his humility, he always seemed to be able to find a smile— no matter how many times we woke him up during the night. This is a huge loss to the medical community, but his legacy will live on through everyone whose lives he touched.

Will always remember his kind hearted chuckle when walking onto the Labor and Delivery unit. It was distinct and pure. Dr. Hauke will be missed. God has other plans for that tall studious man! May God bring comfort to his family now in their greatest time of need.

As a fellow OB-GYN I knew and respected Dr. Gary Hauke over many years. He was competent, hard working, dependable and always cordial to his fellow colleagues and medical staff. It deeply saddens all of us who knew him. My heartfelt condolences to his family.

It was a professional and personal pleasure to care for so many patients together. I remember singing “I’m like a bird” whenever he walked in on call because I would call him the ultimate Haukster. His laugh each time I sang it was enough to make my day. He gave so much to others and I always wanted him to understand how special he was to our unit. He had a home with us and we were always comforted walking in to our shifts to him sitting by the fireplace reading a paper... it truly made us feel so warm to see that when we walked in or away from our shifts. Thank you for all you gave day after day.

Dr Hauke was an 'amazing' doctor to work with. His knowledge was endless, his patience was wonderful. His laughter was contagious. His positive attitude was always there. He loved his family and was always there w/the crossword section in his hands. He would sit by the fireplace and finish it. He always had an upbeat attitude.It was my honor to work with him. God bless you always.
