Dr. W.F. (Boy) Hasskarl, Jr. - Guestbook

I always loved Uncle Boy, and admired him for the husband, Father, grandfather, and Doctor he was. He was a fine man, and an honorable one. Aunt Johnny was one lucky woman! The world is a lesser place with his death.
I will miss him very much.
Diana

My condolences to the family, my schoolmates. He treated me a many of times as a youngster. He was such a good person. My thoughts are very sincere.

Dr. Hasskarl was our family doctor growing up, as well as a family friend. I know that his presence will be greatly missed by both family and friends. My deepest sympathy goes out to the family at this time.

Our families have such histories. We are with you in spirit.

My family and I have depended on Dr. Hasskarl's compassionate care for as long as I can remember. He was a fine human being, and the world is a sadder place without him.

My deepest sympathy to you, the family of Dr. Hasskarl. On a Sunday morning in early February, 1962, I found myself in the ER in Brenham as a result of a serious auto accident. To my good fortune, Dr. Hasskarl was on duty in the ER. He repaired my face and gave me courage to make it through a number of pain filled days. I want you to know how much I appreciate everything he did. Years later, He remembered me and called me by name! I was moved to tears. May God grant you His peace.

Dr. Hasskarl was my personal Dr. all my life and I would like to extend my best wishes to his family for their loss of such a wonderful kind person.

The last time I say him was at the Ford dealership in Brenham and we had the opportunity to have a long visit. I got a "great big" HUG.

He will be missed by many.

To Dr. Boy's dear family,

Doc was one of a kind, and I feel blessed to have gotten to know him some over the past year. He was the subject of my story on Brenham in the 1920s, called Bootleggers, Baseball and Barbecue, which ran in Texas Co-Op Power Magazine last summer. But Doc was more than just a window to the past...he knew Brenham history and her people, was passionate about life and living it to the fullest, and I had a hard time keeping up with him on our jaunts around Brenham and Washington County. We later toured the Wendish museum together and he introduced me to some of Brenham's most colorful and fascinating characters. I will never forget the times I spent in his company. He was one of a kind, a southern gentleman, the likes of which we shall not see again. He had a genuine sense of wonder and curiosity about the world, and wrote with the same humorous and gentle touch that he seemed to offer to all those around him. He will be sorely missed.

With my deepest sympathy and thoughts for your family at this time of great loss.

To the Hasskarl Family,

With deepest sympathy,

Ann,
My deepest sympathies on the loss of your father. He is certainly one of the last of a rare breed, a fine, old, southern gentleman. He always had a kind word or a joke to share. He'll certainly be missed by many, young and old.

Again,I am so sorry.

Dr Hasskarl will be truely missed by his family, friends, and community. His love for his family was always evident. His faithfulness to his friends was unyielding. And, his generosity in giving of his time and energies to his community unmatched.

Libby and I wish to express our sorrow in the passing of Dr. Boy. But what a great life he led and what a great family legacy he leaves behind. His life was about giving and caring and he embodied the true spirit of community. We will miss him, but we will have comfort in knowing that his life enriched our life and the lives of so many.

thank you for sharing him with us

To the Hasskarl Family

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

To the Boy Hasskarl family, you have to be proud of your father, grandfather and great grandfather. I had the privledge of working with him at the Brenham Clinic and in Surgery. He was the best Doctor, he took his time with his patients and had patients with new nurses assisting him after his favorite and best nurse Andy retired. You have my deepest Sympathy. God Bless all of you, Carolyn Hall

To Dr. Hasskarl's Family,
You have not only lost a loved one but Brenham has lost a great man and physican! Thank you for sharing him. My condolences to his family. May his soul rest in peace.
Sincerely,

Our thoughts are with you all. John, we only met and knew your dad in a small way, but we admired his intelligence, candor, and sense of humor. He was always gracious to us and all of us in Brenham will miss him.

To the family of Dr. Boy,
On behalf of my family we send our sincere regrets of the recent passing of Dr. Boy. He was always such a joy to talk to...especially about Texas football...since I am now in "The Sooner Nation". His knowledge of his loved Washington County and Brenham are legendary. I had the priviledge of playing golf with Dr. Boy during the festivities of Kacie's wedding...wow...he loved his golf! But, above all, his love for his family should be an example to all of us. We have all been priviledged to have known Dr. Boy...He loved Pat and I am sure they now know the answers to all of the questions we have and don't understand. I can't wait to see them!!!

Tom O'Malley

To the Hasskarl family,

I am deeply saddened by Dr Boy's death. He was a dear friend as well as one of the first doctors I worked for at the Brenham Clinic. I always felt a special bond with him. I will so miss running into him in the grocery store or visiting with him at our Clinic retiree lunches.
May God comfort you now in your grief and may He give you strength and peace in the days to come.

Sincerely, Betty Bradley

Dear Joan,Ann,John and Lee,

Your dad was a great man. He exemplified everything that has made our community a great place to live. He volunteered his time to lead Brenham as its mayor in the midst of a busy medical practice. He cared a great deal about the history of this area and took the time to write down his memories and research. He was a fine physician who kept his patients healthy and who cared a great deal about them. His optimism, enthusiasm, and zest for life made him someone that you wanted to be around. May God give you His comfort during this difficult time.

Hal
