He was preceded in death by his brother-the late John Hagan in 1985. Bo had the honor of being a mentor and friend to many.

After closing Microscientific, he returned to school at Baylor and earned his Masters in Economics. He worked on his doctorate at Webster University.

In his free time, Bo enjoyed gardening. He was always interested in international affairs and had a breadth of knowledge about the world that was memorable. He also enjoyed being involved in the lives of the many foreign exchange students that he met during his tenure at Lindenwood.
