It is with great sadness I report that Hagar passed last night.  He had been battling cancer for some time, along with his wife of 55 years.  She passed less than 2 months ago, and our buddy just joined her.  He missed her dearly, obviously, and was surely overjoyed to join her.  He had just gotten a positive report but developed an infection this week his body couldn’t fight off.  His daughter reports that he passed peacefully in the night.  
 

Hagar was someone we all enjoyed posting, and he was a great friend.  I met him through this message board, and was blessed to develop a friendship over the past several years.  I debated where to post this (either here, the football board, or the Locker Room), but I feel like this is the one where he posted and enjoyed the most.  He will be deeply missed.  Prayers for his beloved son, daughter and grandchildren.  As you can imagine, he was very proud of them and an incredible dad and grandad to them all.

OMG. I knew I should have checked on him. I work with a man from Evadale and asked Hagar if he knew him. Of course he did. Our friendship took off from there. I never met the man, now I wish I had. He and I would text occasionally. He told me of his condition and asked me not to mention it. You posted it in the right place. 
Even though we may not have met, I feel I know the man. He had a sense of humor that was so enjoyable. We all loved his posts and his “country” humor. He will be sorely missed. 
R. I. P. my friend.

He thought a lot of you as well.  We both mentioned you and LRF often as guys we knew we would like and enjoy their company.  I’m so grateful we met (I think AAW and I met him at the same time during the Evadale tournament years ago).  I was blessed to be able to watch several games with him over the year.  We shared a love of sports and complaining about officiating.

Terrible news. I noticed that his daily posts seemed to stop like a couple of weeks ago.

 What an enlightening person who always added his age learned wisdom with humility and humor.

Thanks for your service to out country.

RIP

This is the hidden content, please

Looking thru the pictures. I realize I knew him better than I thought. That old red Fairlane (I think) that he always talked about racing and going to the pig stand. He was so proud of his marine/priest son and the grandkids. After only 3 dates, 55 years with his wife... WOW!!! He told me he told her he'd see her 5 months. Just couldn't wait any longer. I completely understand. We can take comfort knowing that he was a Christian and he is in a better place, loving all of those who he missed. 

@Hagar this place wont be the same without you old man.

I guess I missed this because I was busy with Legislature-related duties at the time. I had no idea until a few moments ago.

Even though I never met him in person, I always enjoyed bantering with Hagar here. I always got the sense he was one of the most levelheaded posters on the site. I’ll miss reading what he has to say.

Belatedly, my thoughts and prayers are with his family.

He truly was.  You two are cut from the same ilk.  I didn’t always agree with him like I don’t always agree with you.  But I respect(ed) the hell out of both of you.  I miss and think of him all the time.

      Multi-Sport Athletes

      I don't completely disagree. Individual drills, running, lifting, etc. I agree are perfectly fine. This incident involved a padded practice where a kid was injured. I just think it would be best for an AD to have the Varsity athletes currently participating in another sport just sit out. It's an activity with a much higher risk of injury. We don't see basketball kids practicing/playing while football season is going on do we? No, because no AD would allow that. Let's have the same common courtesy for the other sports too.

      Kristi Noem Kills Dog

      Too many people haven’t heard “Dirty Old Egg Sucking Dog” by Johnnie Cash.  Way too many flakey people in this world. Was she fighting dogs to death across state lines? Lots of the people who would condemn Noem  had absolutely no problem with Vick. I guess politics is a whole nother animal.

      I have some friends whose “fur baby” bit somebody in the face because “she wasn’t feeling good and he was “in her face.”” The young man needed three stitches on his chin. She still growls and snaps at people all of the time… she’s a cocker spaniel with a bad attitude and she bites.    Those same friends are expediting their first actual skin baby this summer… they’re not worried at all, and I’m certain that they’ll be shocked when the dog maims their baby.     God gave us dominion over the animals for instances like this.

      No argument in your rationale however politics isn’t rational. Said people vote. Those votes don’t have to be approved by a jury deciding if a voter has a valid reason for his beliefs. There are things that I firmly believe but I would never say them, even in private (what is private anymore?) if I ever intended to run for office. It doesn’t matter if my private thoughts could be proven 100% as correct, it still might very likely lose voters and an election.  Maybe you missed the Trump presidency……

      Well at least she didn't eat the dog. Then again, she might have become president.   I can't believe this went to page 2 without anyone mentioning Obama eating dog meat.
