Our Father Paul Gumz went home to be with the Lord at 86. He loved living in Pine Lake with our Mom Dot and us 6 kids walking around the lake daily. He was an Army veteran of WWII. He loved his family, country, Braves, Chicago Cubs & Falcons and trains! He enjoyed decorating for all the Holidays but especially Christmas! When our family outgrew their home for gatherings we used the beachhouse.

Patrick Haase

“Try to remember the kind of September...

We will remember Patrick. We will remember his two beautiful daughters, who carry his spirit and love for life within their hearts...and his dogs Bo and Jack who were always warm on the cold evenings curled on the bed beside Patrick...and his voice which will forever echo in song through the air...

 “Try to remember and if you remember... then follow...”

 Patrick left us December 11th 2017. May He Rest in Peace.

Nita Townes

Nita Townes was one of those amazing secret treasures of Pine Lake. At nearly 90 years young, she could be seen at a Town Hall meeting, at the Memorial Day cookout or just riding her scooter around the lake. With more than 60 years of Pine Lake memories, you could always get a tidbit of Pine Lake History from Nita. We will all miss her wit and wisdom.

Nita left us July 20, 2016. May She Rest in Peace.
