Sorry to hear of Jack's passing. All of the staff at the Indiana Orthopaedic Center will certainly miss him. We always enjoyed seeing his name on the schedule because that meant he was coming in to 'tease us girls' and always had us laughing before he left. It seems that no matter what Mr. Hagans had going on in his life, he always had a great attitude and he always had a smile. It is a lesson we should all take with us. We will miss him dearly.
