HAGAN


JOHN JOSEPH HAGAN, ESQ. "JACK" of Newtown, PA died peacefully on January 9, 2016 surrounded by his loving family. He was the beloved husband of Gail C. Hagan, devoted father to John J. Hagan, Jr., Michael J. Hagan (Joyce), Carolyn Hagan Stubbs (Richard), Christopher D.

Born in Philadelphia, PA, he was predeceased by parents James and Naomi Hagan, and brothers James S. Hagan, and Fr. David I.

He was a graduate of North Catholic High School, LaSalle University, and Temple University Law School, and served in the U.S. Navy as an officer and pilot. An attorney for more than 40 years and long-time resident of Yardley, and later New Hope, Jack enjoyed nothing more than spending time with family and friends.

What a blessing to grow up next door to a great guy and great family. I will forever remember his red VW beetle and calm character, 20' jump shot in the driveway, and Sunday Mass in the Hagans living room. He was a generous man with a generous spirit.

Dear Gail and family,

Jack was a valued and devoted personal friend for 60+ years. Sadly we are in Florida for the winter and unable to attend the services.

Dear Gail and all your wonderful children-
I am so sorry I am unable to attend the service for Jack to witness his departure from his earthly life and see him rise up to his heavenly home which he so rightly deserves.

Alison and Doug have often related how generous he was with his charities, such as assisting young people reach their dream of going to college.
Your children have an outstanding example to reach the path where their father has left off and to pick up the torch and move it forward.

May God's blessings be with all of you and may you find comfort in His care.
