John HAGSTROM Obituary

John Eric HAGSTROM Born June 14, 1922 in Issaquah, WA, passed away March 16, 2011 in Seattle, WA. John was preceded in death by his parents, Ethel and Axel, his sister Betty and his belovedwife of 30 years, Alice Virginia Hagstrom. John was retired from Boeing after many years working as a Teamsters Local 174 truck driver. John and Alice moved to Whidbey Island after building a large cedar home where the family spent many memorable Thanksgiving days playing mud football. Whether you knew him as Papa John or Big John, he was a quiet and gentle man with a wickedly dry sense of humor. He will be missed by all who loved him. Graveside services will be held at Lakeview Cemetery on Friday, March 25th at 2:00pm.
