Not sure what to say?

I remember Mr Hagood as a warm, kind and caring individual. when he was at the helm, his employees came first. During hurricane Hugo, Ben sent our trucks to Greenville with shopping list from his employees. Many a Monday morning would find fresh vegetables on the counter that Ben brought in for the taking. Ben Hagood was the spirit of the William M. Bird Company.

Jimmy and Ben,
I am very sorry to hear about your father. May all of your family find peace at this very difficult time. He is another fine Charlestonian who will be missed by all who knew him.

Blessings to all of the Hagood family. I'm remembering and celebrating the life of Ben Hagood. He had a strong positive impact on my life, and I'm deeply thankful for him and for all of you. God bless you all.

To the family,
It was a pleasure and honor to have known Mr. Hagood as his caregiver.
My prayers are with you during this time.
Love you all,
Leslie Camel

Derrill and family,
Herb and I send our most heartfelt sympathy to all of you. The obituary is beautifully written to honor a beloved Charlestonian. Our prayers and blessings are with you.

Ben Hagood was one of the finest southern gentlemen Our country has had to offer! Mr. Ben was well respected and well loved by All! He raised a solid Family who have all taken on his great qualities. He will be sadly missed, but his memory and influence will never be forgotten!!

Dear Hagoods,
I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Ben was from the Greatest Generation newsman Tom Brokaw wrote of so eloquently. He was also part of the downtown crowd that included my parents. He was such an admirable gentleman, and an upstanding member of the community. May God bless you all as you say good-bye.

Such a wonderful life and family goes with Ben, a rare gem of a fine man. I feel a for you all. With love from Darlington County,
