Fred Haberle was born March 12, 1934 to Glenn and Crystal (Rawlinson) Haberle in Jacksonville, Texas. He was a standout for the Jacksonville Fightin' Indians football team and was all-state honorable mention in 1951. He also excelled at track and won consecutive state championships as a member of Jacksonville's mile relay team. Their 1952 time of 3:27.9 was a long-standing state record. He played freshman football at the University of Texas, highlighted by a 98-yard kickoff return against Rice.
Fred graduated from the University of Texas in 1957 with a BBA in Industrial Engineering. He served in the Air Force from 1957-59, achieving the rank of Captain. He and Carole were married on August 2, 1958. After his military service, Fred enrolled at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. His medical internship at Dallas Methodist Hospital was followed by an ophthalmology residency at the University of Missouri Medical School. He practiced medicine, specializing in surgery and diseases of the eye, from 1968-1970 in Jacksonville and from 1970-1994 in Tyler.
Dr. Haberle served as a director on bank boards in both Jacksonville and Tyler. He was a past president of the Discovery Science Place and the Tyler Bonsai Society. He was a member of Grace Community Church and enjoyed Charles Fries' Sunday School class for many years. He attended "Choir Practice," a Wednesday morning Bible Study with fellow physicians, for 35 plus years.
Fred treasured being in the outdoors - enjoying his membership in the "No Talent Hunting Club" and hunting trips all over the world. He and Carole especially loved travel with their many close friends. He was a great husband, father, friend and doctor.
