Dear Sharon and family,
We were deeply saddened to learn of Bob's passing and we are so sorry for your loss. He left a very impressive and important legacy. Our thoughts and prayers are for you and your family.

Bob is greatly missed. I worked with him in Seattle and later here in D.C. His humor, intellect, and B.S. meter were always spot on. I am a better person for having known Bob.

Sharon, I was so sorry to learn of your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.

I had the distinct pleasure and honor to work with Lt. Col. Robert Hagen when he was the U.S. Army Reserve 70th Regional Support Command's Public Affairs Officer at Ft. Lawton in Seattle, Washington. I was the Command's Public Affairs Supervisor and Bob was my "boss." We had lots of laughs, adventures and some mis-adventures during the ensuing years.

When he left to another assignment after several years, we crossed paths again at several other Army Reserve events, Our last time...

I went to grade school with Bob at St. Vincents Catholic School.
Bob was was always a good student, a fair athlete and above all, kind and considerate to everyone.

After reviewing his accomplishments in life, I consider it a privledge to have known him.

Bob Hagen was my friend, my hero, the defender of our Country, and my freedom. I loved Col. Bob.My family loved and respected him. We appreciated his service to God and Country. I will miss him.
Our prayers are with you and your family. May He bless you and give you perfect peace.

Bob Hagen was one of the greatest men I have ever known. Of all of the 600+ class of '73 McNary grads, he is the only one who had remained in contact with me through all the years.
Bob, I will miss your laugh, military adventres, learning who you were rubbing shoulders with at the Pentegon and White House. You fought a tough battle my friend. May you rest in eternal peace.

What a shock to learn of Bob's passing his morning. I worked with Bob at the Oregon Military Dept, when I was Command Receptionist. He always saw the best in a person & made them feel important. Loved his sense of humor. I would learn that his sister Terry & I graduated North Salem High School together. He truly loved serving his country, in the many postings & positions he held. May God wrap his loving arms around each family member, extended famly member & many friends, during this...
