Hee Haw comedian passes away

Jim Hager, one of the Hager twins on the 70's hit show Heehaw passed away today according to CNN. Some of you younger people may not know who I am talking about, but I am sure the older ones do.

Although it is sad when anyone passes away, this brought back a lot of memories for me. Memories of when life was not as complicated and when sitting around watching cornball show like Heehaw was a simple as life got. It seemed like every Saturday night I was at my grandfathers house watching this show when it came on. During the commercials I recall sneaking back to my grandmothers kitchen grabbing a piece of fatback off of the table. She always had food on the table.

Although I did not know any of the people that was on the show personally. They are still a part of my childhood memories. May God be with the Hager family and his twin brother Jon. Just like all the other characters from that show that has passed away. I am sure Jim is somewhere a picken and a grinnen.

I remember watching the show as a child, but I don't remember him. May he rest in peace.

My Grandpa always loved the show. I didn't really care for it, but didn't have a choice about watching when it was on.
