Condolence: Mr. Hagar was an amazing, inspiring teacher. I will always remember the trips to Stratford and the stories he shared with us. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Condolence: I was blessed to know Mr. Hagar as a teacher and as a member of Strickland Baptist Church. I enjoyed every day in freshman class I am sure, but I will never forget the Mr. Hagar from church. As I sit here and remember him I smile and hear his whistling. I will never forget his whistling and his smile. My prayers and thoughts are with you as you travel down the road of grief but I am smiling with you as I think of him strolling the streets of gold and whistling all of the hymns.

Condolence: I am so sorry for your loss, Lowell was such a sweet,loving fun person. I know this is a big loss for your family. Love, Cara Lee

Condolence: Dear Leslie, Please know that Rich and I are thinking and praying for your family. We enjoyed the few times we got to be with you and Lowell in social settings--usually at Judy Bailey's house :) Lowell had such an exuberant spirit with a servant's heart. That is a pretty amazing combination in any human being. We are praying for God to give you the peace and comfort that only He can give you. Katie & Rich Stanton

Condolence: Mr. Hagar, you were an amazing teacher and an amazing man. Thank you for being such a great example to us. Your smile and laugh were so contagious. See you in heaven Brother.

Condolence: He was one of the best teachers I ever had he was kind caring and fair. When I would struggle he could always find a way to help me get to where I needed to be. The world lost a wonderful man!

Condolence: Lowell was one of the most positive people I have ever known; always he saw the good in others and put forth effort to help them realize their worth. As a colleague he was always willing to participate, to help, to be part of the solution. Kind, gentle and forever thoughtful, Lowell will be missed and the those whom he influenced will forever be grateful.

Condolence: Leslie (and all), I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I will greatly miss seeing Lowell when we visit Community Church for VBS or other functions. Lowell has been a very significant influence in my life as both a follower of Christ and a public school teacher. As a young teacher, I enjoyed observing his classroom, and years later I had the wonderful opportunity to interview Lowell about his teaching practices. My major takeaway from Lowell is that he was unashamed of his faith in Christ, he would openly let it be known, yet let his life and way of treating other people be the true witness of his faith. This practice has greatly influenced how I conduct my day-to-day teaching in my own classroom today. I am missing you, friend, and look forward to worshiping Jesus with you soon.

Condolence: I was lucky enough to have Mr. Hager for English and be his teachers aid in 1999. He was one of my favorite teachers. He always wore a big smile and made sure that anyone he interacted with left him doing the same. He was a great teacher that touched countless students and people in the community and will be greatly missed.

Condolence: We are saddened to hear this news, but rejoice knowing that Lowell is with His Savior. We have special memories of serving together at Strickland Church.

Condolence: Lesley, I am so sorry for your loss! I have prayed for you today for peace and comfort. I'm glad we got to see you both this summer but even more glad that we will see each other again one day! Blessings, Shelle LaMew

Condolence: There are very few teachers that I can directly credit my academic success to. Mr. Hager was one of them. He was direct, had high expectations, and ran a tight ship. Yet, he still had fun in class and was very engaging. AHS was a better place because of him. Class of 96

Condolence: Mr. Hager was my favorite teacher. I am so grateful to have been able to learn with him. He loved his students fiercely and he showed it everyday. I think the thing that always stuck with me the most was that he treated students with respect and care; he was a teacher who would be humble and kind with all students. I never felt like a burden or a bother in his classroom. Being a student in his classroom will forever be a cherished memory of mine. My thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones.

Condolence: Mr. Hager was by far my favorite teacher at Alma High School. I always looked forward to his class(es). He was a very compassionate teacher and wanted his students to learn and succeed. He will be greatly missed by many. My prayers go out to his family and friends!!

Condolence: He was always full of life and always seemed so happy. He touched the lives of everyone who crossed his path. Directly or indirectly in some small way. He was a wonderful teacher to many and will be missed. Rest in peace Mr. Hager

Condolence: I am in such disbelief that Mr Hager is gone from this like. He was such an amazing man and teacher. As I sat reading his obituary so many memories came flooding back. I not only had him as an English teacher but also as a mentor. We went to the flag pole to pray each Wednesday morning and at lunch we had our bible study. I remember all this like it was yesterday. He made such an impact on my life and I will never forget what he done for me and every other student that walked through his doors. Mr Hager you will be missed. I will see you again someday. In the mean time save me a seat I look forward to catching up. May God bless and keep you his family. May you feel Gods love and may you have peace knowing you will be reunited again someday.

Condolence: RIP Mr.Hager. Wonderful teacher! 1978

Condolence: What a wonderful teacher. Like you said, You are on the winning team. Thank you for touching so many lives. Lori Garberson Schooley class of 1979

Condolence: I can't help but shed a few tears as I reflect on the impact this great man had on my life. I was blessed to have him as an English teacher, and he was a great one. However, what stands out even more, is what a compassionate adult he was during some of the hardest years of my life. My locker just happened to be outside of his classroom. He was one of the first to console me when my grandfather died, and on another particular morning when some really hard things were happening at home. I have thought of him often during the years, and feel blessed to have known him. I am so sorry for the loss you have experienced, as I cannot imagine the void he has left in your family!

Condolence: Mr Hager was one of my very favorite teachers at Alma High School. He truly cared for his students and wanted each and every one of them to see the potential he saw in them. I am truly saddened to hear of his passing and my condolences go out to his friends and family. Rest In Peace, Mr Hager. You were an unforgettable teacher.

Condolence: Dale, Elaine, and family. So sorry to hear about Lowell passing away. Reading his obituary filled us with joy to hear about his wonderful life and love for God. He definitely was a servant. You sure can be proud of the legacy he left. Praying for all of you. Love and hugs, Jim and Kathy Durling

Condolence: Sorry to hear of your loss. I have fond memories of Lowell as I was growing up. Spent some time at Camp Miracle. Glad we did a group picture at the Hager reunion this year. Praying for you all. Glenda
