To the Hagans,

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Jack is a great guy. I am proud to say I was one of his subjects for a sketch when I ran for Key Club Governor in 1971. It was that sketch that launched my career! Best I ever looked.
Peace to all of you on your loss. What great memories to treasure.
Ed - Call me!
Peace, Bob Still

I am so sorry for your loss.
Jack and Betty were two of my favorite people. I was Betty's Home Health Aide for a few years and got to know both of them quite well.

They're together again.

My dear Dad, how he suffered these many years. He suffers no more. I loved this man and I know he loved me. I remember asking him when I was little why he didn't like the 4th of July fireworks as much as we did. "I saw enough of that in the Pacific". Bless all of our veterans! God Bless you Dad.

To the Hagan family:
losing a loved one is hard but holding onto a lifetime of memories is quite easy.
I only met Jack once but he gave me encouragement on my art.
God bless each of you as I know your family is strong.
