Dear Mr. Hangman, I watched every episode of Dallas. I was a truck driver and taped Dallas while I was on the road. I'm from Ft. Worth, Tx. I live in Green Bay, Wi. I like the Packer's, however, Go Cowboys!

I cannot thank you enough for the countless hours of entertainment you brought to my life. I think you were the greatest dramatic actor in an evening non episodic continuing drama. You were accomplished in the comedic genre as well. I look at the Dallas DVDs often. You should have been given a lifetime achievement Emmy for your excellent body of work. R.I. P. with Maj in eternal bliss.

Thank you for your stunning performance as "Buck" the Russian translator in director Sidney Lumet's "Failsafe" (1964). It was your first screen portrayal, well deserving of an Oscar for best supporting along with Walter Matthau. You and Fonda played off your lines and emotions as if you both had been born for your roles. May you now collect those long overdue accolades in that better place.

Mary Rosemann

April 3, 2013

Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come And the years approach of which you will say, I have no pleasure in them; Before the sun is darkened, and the light and the moon, and the stars, while the clouds return after the rain; When the guardians of the house tremble, and the strong men are bent, And the grinders are idle because they are few, and they who look through the windows grow blind; When the doors to the street are shut, and the sound of the mill is low; When one waits for the chirp of a bird, but all the daughters of song are suppressed; When the almond tree blooms, and the locust grows sluggish and the caper berry is without effect, Because man goes to his lasting home, and mourners go about the streets; Before the silver cord is snapped and the golden bowl is broken, And the pitcher is shattered at the spring, and the broken pulley falls into the well, And the dust returns to the earth as it once was, and the life breath returns to God who gave it. ECCLESIASTES 12:7

I couldn't wait for Friday nights to watch Dallas. I was glued to the tv and nothing else mattered. I wrote to Mr. Hagman years ago but the letter was returned. I still have it. I also have the mugs from the show. How I will treasure them. I was so happy to hear that Dallas was coming back to us. Now I am curious to see what kind of tribute they will give to his character. Thanks for all the memories!!! RIP

I totally fell in love with you as the understanding man of many secrets, Capt. Tony Nelson, when I was in high school. Even though I grew up in San Francisco and found my passion in anti-establishment psychedelic rock 'n roll, it didn't distract me from nodding at the TV to watch the captain and the genie's chemistry unfold each week. Thank you for sharing your lightness of being. R.I.P. although lookout for my mom and dad, who will enliven you!

December 15, 2012

I was told as a child that I was a distant cousin to Mr. Hagman on my mother's side of the family. I did not ever get to meet him. I love him just the same. My sincerest condolences to family and friends. GOD bless and keep you all. Always, Melissa
