Karl Edward Haury Sr.

Age 86, a native Nashvillian, he passed away Friday, July 8, 2011. He was born July 27, 1924 to the late Karl O. and Annie Ruth Eubank Haury. After serving in the U.S. Army, he joined his father in the hardwood lumber business for 11 years. In 1953, Karl and Reese Smith, Jr. founded Haury & Smith. Together, they developed land, built residential homes and multi-family developments stressing quality and taking pride in having satisfied buyers. In the early 1970's, Karl sold his half interest in Haury & Smith and began developing an area in Orlando, Florida known as Bay Hill Golf and Country Club. He never left Nashville, but commuted as he continued to build and develop real estate in Nashville. During his years at Bay Hill, he and his family thoroughly enjoyed hosting family, friends and various groups from Nashville. A loyal friend to all, he received great pleasure from his family relationships and personal friendships, many of which were with people he came to know through his real estate and development business as well as his association with Vanderbilt University's Athletic Department where he served as President of the National Commodore Club. He was an avid sportsman and traveled extensively to enjoy hunting and fishing and loved being able to share many of those times with his son and grandsons. His accomplishments were

many but he will also be remembered as a truly caring, considerate and thoughtful gentleman, loving his family and friends and giving back because he felt he was so fortunate in life. He is predeceased by his wife of 53 years, Mildred Elizabeth Moore Haury. He is survived by wife, Kay Ballenger Haury; son, Karl Edward (Sandy) Haury, Jr. ( Judy), daughter, Martha Lynn Haury Hamilton (Craig); grandchildren, Ashley Elizabeth Haury Travis (Josh), Karl Christopher Haury, Clayton Hall Haury, great grandson, Jackson Edward Travis; granddaughter, Ava Brooke Ballenger; stepson, Craig Lee Ballenger (Catherine); sister, Jayne Haury Hagan.
