Angus and I were KA fraternity brothers at Davidson College. We saw him at our 55th Reunion several years ago and we was in good spirits. He was a good businessman even in college and a good guy. We know you will miss him and we will be thinking of you. Love, Charlie Hull
Mr. Hagins was a fine man and had many talents, including teaching me how to waterski. I was particularly impressed with his ability to unlock a locked car without a key and without damaging the vehicle whatsoever--Magnum, P.I. had nothing on him.
We will miss "Buddy" and remember him fondly. Thanks for the memories.
Our sincerest condolences,
Stephen Gardner and family
To the family of Angus Benjamin Hagins Sr. Sorry for the loss of your loved one. May the words found in the scriptures bring you comfort. " He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces." Isaiah 25:8
