“My favorite place to sit during many ISI board meetings was next to Homer. He was a very thoughtful and kind man with great vision and advice. During breaks and meals, we would have conversations about his family; he was very proud of his family.


— ISI District 12 Director Debbie Lane

was a fascinating person — so humble, honest and filled with integrity. He was soft-spoken, but his words were so powerful, and he had a great sense of humor and was someone who made the world and ISI a better place. The ISI and the skating world have lost a wonderful man, but we are all the better for having him as part of our family. May he rest in peace and until we meet again, may God hold him in the palm of his hand.”


— ISI Treasurer Kevin McCormack


“Homer was a true gentleman, who often gave me kind and gentle advice. I will always remember him for all he did for me and the ISI.”


— ISI Past President Jim Hartnett


“Homer was so understated. While you could tell in an instant that he possessed great intellect, he never came across as a person who knew more than you did. He was a great listener and had the amazing ability to galvanize input from various sides of an issue and bring about consensus.


“He was an immense help to U.S. Figure Skating and the Professional Skaters Association as the first architect of the coaching partnership agreement between the two groups, and he helped bring that vision to the Ice Sports Industry as the U.S. Figure Skating representative to the ISI Board of Directors for many years. I have known the Hagedorn family for close to 30 years now. He and Pat are first-class people who raised two wonderful boys. Homer inspired all of us to be more effective leaders and critical thinkers in our sport and in the industry of ice sports.”


— Gerry Lane, ISI Board of Directors member-at-large


“Homer was always kind, gentle, caring, a good listener and interested in others. When I was new on the ISI board, he made me feel welcome and a part of everything. He will be missed.”


— ISI District 11 Director Caroline Baker


“Homer was a true gentleman. His gentle reminders at every board meeting inspired me to continue with my education and ratings. I will be forever grateful for his support and encouragement.”


— ISI District 4 Director Christine Wilson Brinton


“How incredibly fortunate I was to be able to sit with Mr. Homer Hagedorn during our ISI Board of Directors meetings each year. The sincerity in his voice drew you in to listen intently. You could just look at him while he was speaking and know how smart and knowledgeable this man is. He had an amazing way to make you think about the details in the topic and to some extent question yourself and your own view — what an incredible gentleman.”


— ISI District 13/14 Director Paige Scott
