Clarence Hagelin Obituary
He was born July 16, 1939 in Frederick, MD to the late Clarence Sr. and Mabel Hagelin. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a son, Mark Hagelin; and a brother, John Hagelin.
Bud graduated from Walkersville High School in 1957. Then served his country with the U.S. Army in the Military Police and Special Intelligence. Following he served his community of Thurmont, MD as the Chief of Police, and was especially proud of assisting the Secret Service while Presidents visited Camp David and Harriet Chapel Church, including sitting next to Pres. Johnson and the first lady at church. Also in Thurmont he owned and operated the Red Door Sub Shop. Bud then started a new career as a liquor and wine salesman for Churchill Distributors, covering Allegany and Garrett Counties, MD until his retirement.
Bud loved his time as Chief of Police, a lifetime of fast pitch softball, antiquing, the Baltimore Orioles, and watching westerns. He was a past president of The Lions Club of Thurmont, MD and a member of LaVale, MD.
Surviving is his wife of 36 years Debi Hagelin; sons, Neil Hagelin and wife Susan, Eric Hagelin and wife Catherine, and B.J. Curtis and wife Vy; six grandchildren, Heather Hassett (Trent), Julie Santos (Chris), Jon Erik Hagelin, Nathan Hagelin (Nicole), Ryan Hagelin, and Emily Hagelin; eleven great-grandchildren; four sisters, Geraldene Stitley, Delores Campbell, Lorraine Kuhn, and Lois Small (Gene); and his large extended family including numerous nieces and nephews.
In accordance with his wishes, he will be cremated and a celebration of his life will be held at a later date.
The family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to nurses and staff of UPMC Western Maryland and Frostburg Rehab Center.
