| Newell Randon | Mr. Hassel | July 5, 2013 |
Good teacher, good coach, and good freind. He will be truly
missed and always have a special place in my heart. When ever
I think of my basketball days I always thought that it was an
honor to play for coach Hassel. Even when i was getting messed
around in sports, he always was there.
Love you dearly,
Newell Randon

I met Mr Hassel at Estrella Jr High, he was my homeroom teacher, my 8th grade Literature & Language teacher and he was also in charge of Student Council, which I was in. Mr Hassel also organized the end of the year trip to Magic Mountain every year, which everyone looked forward too. I was lucky enough that I got to go both years of Jr High, all four years of high school and then as a chaperon for three years after high school, it was so much fun. I HATE to read and write, but Mr Hassel had a way of making it fun, he played music in class, one of his favorites was "Wind beneath my wings" by Bet Midler and there was another one but all I can remember was the umm but but part =), and let us order pizza for lunch. He was the best! Our relationship didn't end there, once in High School he became my Badminton and Basketball Coach. He was also the announcer for all the home football games and travel with the football team to keep stats. When my parents started going through their divorce it wasn't easy for my sister and I and he took us in under his wing and was there for us. He helped in so many ways, I don't ever think I got to tell him how much it meant to me to have him there. Our friendship continued past High School and it wasn't but a few years ago that we lost contact, I am very sad for that. Mr Hassel was a very special man who touched not just my heart but so many others. I will miss him so much and am so sad that I did not get to say good bye or tell him thank you for all he did for me. To all those who had him as a teacher or coach you have to know we were very lucky to have such an amazing man as our teacher and to those who didn't you truly missed out on having one of the best teachers & coaches in the State of Arizona. My prayers go out to his family. I love you Mr Hassel, may you rest in peace.

Just wanted to say what a wonderful memorial service it was tonight. I loved the stories, the Trevor Browne/Estrella students (all ground up) was a site to see. Their grief was powerful. Mr. Hassel really impressed love and respect of for all of them and his fellow alum. Someone so great, yet so small in the world will be missed.
