There's hardly a day that goes by that I don't think about ol' Hawk. It's really not the same without him. I actually remember commenting to my children just last week that it was 1 year since his last show. I did at one time hope someone would step in with the same kind of intel he used to provide, but he was truly unique and can never be duplicated.
We know of course he was such a devout servant of our Lord Jesus, that he's up there working for Him right now. He prayed for my grandmother and my father-in-law on air and I surely hope they all had a chance to meet. Hawk meant every bit to me as any family member. His time and work here was and always will be appreciated.
My best wishes to Susan and everyone else who had the privilege of knowing him personally. We miss you buddy!

Always wanted to tell him that his voice reminded me of William Conrad of Cannon TV series, back in the early 1970's. I will miss his booming voice, his wit and wisdom! GOD Bless you and yours, Brother. And cover your precious family in the blood of Jesus.

Milo and I had many conversations in our shared front yard . I will always remember his wit and booming voice. My favorite memory was of him telling me about his "secret" for creating a special holiday mood by shining a green spotlight on their Christmas display .

There is power in the blood of Jesus!
The good peace officer down in the Crossroads of Texas will miss this man greatly.
There will be a great void in the lives of those of us who loved this man but he would want us to carry on in the name of Christ who strengthens us.
May we all continue to swing our old Louisville sluggers at the shins of the Luiciferians.
I look forward to being able to visit with him again in eternity.

POWER IN BLOOD OF JESUS!
He prayed for me on air when I was in hospital with colon cancer,Lord Jesus showed up and did miracle in me.
We listened to him for over 13 years.
We have the world famous Ben the bear killer beagle. We built the off grid sewing business with a treadle sewing machine through his encouragement.
He blessed us so much words cannot express.

There's power in The Blood of Jesus.
I was just one of many who listened and he was very dear to us. I was a listener since Apr 2014, and my wife and children knew him too. our hearts truly ache for missing him.
I just found out yesterday and he was on my mind all day. I said one last prayer last night while looking up at the stars and had a noticeable surge of peace come about me. I truly believe he's fine now and that feeling of peace was God's way of letting me know.
There's so much more I'd like to learn about his life, but he informed us about so, so much else that we simply wouldn't ever hear anywhere else.
So long my friend. You would've been on air tonight and last night, but I have all your shows saved since 2014 and plan to go back and listen to them again. I already miss you and really cannot wait until I see you in Heaven. Please put in a good word for me w/ archangel Michael and Gabriel and I hope you'll let me join your squad in heaven. I and my children will keep training in our ninja and muay thai ways until then.
Love you dearly. God bless in Jesus' name we pray.
