LEXINGTON, SC – Funeral services for Robert Dale Hagee, 78, will be held at 11:00 a.m. Monday, December 16, 2013 at Nazareth Lutheran Church, 1800 Nazareth Road, Lexington, SC 29073, Pastor Michael Watson officiating.

The family will receive friends from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Sunday, December 15, 2013 at Caughman-Harman Funeral Home, Lexington Chapel.
Mr. Hagee was born February 10, 1935 in Mooresville, IN and passed away on Thursday, December 12, 2013. He was a son of the late Dale Hagee and Audrey Rariden Hagee. Mr. Hagee was a member of Nazareth Lutheran Church.
He retired as a Lieutenant Colonel from the Transportation Corps of the United States Army in 1978 having served two tours of duty in Vietnam as a helicopter pilot. While in service, among many commendations, he was awarded the Purple Heart, the Air Medal, the Bronze Star, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Joint Service Commendation Medal, the Army Commendation Medal and the Legion of Merit. After retiring from the Army, he was employed by Aeromaritime International as Manager for port operations in Lagos, Nigeria. He returned to the States and became a resident of Lexington, SC then returned to work for Aeromaritime as Managing Director for operations in Valetta, Malta.
In 1980 he returned to Lexington and was employed by both Brutus and Sunbird boat companies as Plant Manager and Human Resources Manager respectively. He also taught on a part-time basis at Midlands Technical College.
Bob, while still able to attend, never missed a soccer, baseball, softball, or basketball game, swimming or gymnastics meet, dance, chorus or orchestra recital in which his children or grandchildren participated. He loved to play golf and was an avid USC Gamecock fan. He was a friend to all and was always the first there to lend a helping hand.
Surviving are his wife, Anne Hagee; daughters, Cheryl (Steve) Hughes and Susan (Brad) McFarland; grandchildren, Jessica and Christopher Hughes, Madison and Olivia McFarland; brother, Charles R. (Barbara) Hagee of San Diego, CA; sister, Julia (Joe) Lansberry of Plainfield, IN and numerous nieces and nephews.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to the caring staff at his recent home, Carroll Campbell Place of Lexington and Tri-County Hospice.

I remember Bob as a mentor and friend during the year 1967-1968 when he and i share a room in Bien Hoa Viet Nam. He was a great leader and was a great example to me.

Little girls everywhere believe that their fathers are heros. For most, that changes as they grow and mature, and they come to see their parents as simply people. My sister and I are so fortunate to have a father who remained our hero for his entire life. While physically diminished before his death, he was never more heroic than in his calm acceptance and quiet daily struggle with the diseases that so many battle. His triumphs were there in his unwavering recognition of my mother and his enjoyment of our hugs and kisses, when all other expressions were lost to him. While all of Dad's military awards are impressive, it doesn't take medals to make a hero. It just takes a man who loves his family so much. Just exactly like my Daddy. We will love you forever, and you will always be my hero. - Susan
