Spurgeon E. Hake

DOVER – Spurgeon E. Hake, 81, entered into rest at 3:38 p.m. on Tuesday, October 1, 2024 at UPMC York Memorial.  He was the loving husband of Sharon M. (Aughenbaugh) Hake.  The couple celebrated 54 years of marriage on June 27, 2024.

Spurgeon enjoyed spending time outdoors, whether it was hunting at the family hunting camp in Clinton County, fishing or with his grandchildren.  He also loved spending time with his family.

In addition to his wife, Spurgeon is survived by his children, Scott A. Hake of York, Christine E. Hake and significant other, Paul Langis of Stewartstown and Kevin M. Hake and wife, Marsha of Dover; five grandchildren, Gavin and Dawson Hake, Kirstyn Swancer, Ethan and Ava Langis.  He was preceded in death by his sister, Joyce M.
