John L. Hasselmeier Sr.

I am very sorry to learn the loss of my uncle through my relatives. I wish to pay my respects through this site to my cousins John, Jr. and Pam for the loss of their father. I wish that I could have had the opportunity to let him know. I am now a Special Education teacher in The Albuquerque Public Schools and teaching students with autism. I am carrying on the family tradition as an educator. God bless you and your family always!

It is with profound sorry that I learned of the passing of Coach Hasselmeier. He was my first coach and one of my favorite teachers. Today I am finishing my 21st year in LISD and my 41st year as a teacher and coach. Coach Hasselmeier was the main reason I chose the coaching and teaching profession. He was an inspiration to me and my sisters. My one regret is that I failed to tell him in person what an influence he was on my life. Know that my prayers and those of my family are with you all. ...

I am very sorry for the loss of your beloved family member.
I went to Arnett Elem. from 1973-1980. I have nothing but very fond memories of Mr. Hasselmeier. I was only in his office twice, but it was always a pleasant. He always spoke to all of the students, and even got down on one knee to our level. Very kind spirit and gentle soul. May God Bless.
