The Colorado Springs community lost a prominent lawyer, a crusader for the developmentally disabled and an old-fashioned gentleman with the death of J. Donald Haney on Thursday. He was 97.
Holland & Hart is proud to recognize the contributions that Haney made to the practice of law and to the firm. Haney joined his father, John Turner, in his practice to form Haney & Haney in 1937. For 46 years, Haney served his clients, fellow attorneys, and the city of Colorado Springs. He retired in 1983, just three years before merging with Holland & Hart.
Family friend John Hazlehurst, described Haney as an attorney guided by personal integrity who served other people before himself. "He was a moral and ethical voice," Hazlehurst said.
We fondly remember this special man who helped establish the deep legal roots from which Holland & Hart has grown.

Funeral arrangements are pending. Contributions can be made to the Stephen S. Haney Endowment Fund, in care of Mosaic, 4980 S. 118th St., Omaha NE 68137.
