Spending the last couple of days Honoring the Matriarch of this Family, I was simply reminded that John was truly larger than life. I remember how I've felt so privileged to have known, and respected John for going on 37 years, eventhough could go years at a time with no contact. Aside from the generous, heartfelt, and sincere, accolades and condolences from friends, colleagues, and other acquaintances, nothing demonstrated more of what a true, Loving and Loved, Man, Husband, Dad (biological or not), and PaPa, John was, than from his own Family. I know John is truly proud to know that from the successes and even failures from his children, they all strive to be the best they can be just as he did, and who then passed those same traits to their children. I Love All of You and Thank You for allowing me to be part of this difficult time and whatever the future holds!

John's mother was my aunt and I was named after her since she actually delivered me when the doctor didn't make it to the farm in time. She was only 20 years old at the time, so I think it was a rather amazing experience. I have always been proud of my name. I'm a couple of years older than John, but we buddied around during our early years. When I was seven years old my mother and I moved out of the state and our visits back to Oklahoma were infrequent. I do fondly remember John, he was always happy and easy to talk to. My heart goes out to his family, but I'm sure they have many treasured memories that they will carry with them always.

Papa John welcomed us into his family with open arms and an open heart. We could never thank him enough for the special care and attention he paid to us. His list of accomplishments are overwhelmingly impressive; however, we just knew him as a kind man that we had the pleasure of getting to know. Thank you for letting us be a part of your family and we are happy to have had you in ours.

The confident reassuring smile is almost a trademark. His words could rapidly became a quick story which kept your attention. The kids and numerous friends would gather for extensive weekend activities at their home near Rock Creek Road & Twin Lakes.
"How was the weekend?" I could ask.
His quick grin and pleasant story would often entail how Skipper, or (forgive me, Scamper) their beautiful and spirited blonde Cocker Spaniel. had again provided hours of bonus entertainment. Likely, causing food to be spilled or shoes gone missing!
John was certainly a keen observer and avid encourager of causing the unexpected!
Thanks for the friendship and memories!

John was a superb orator as evidenced by his many awards and the demand for his services as a speaker throughout his career. He was a major part of the speech and debate activities of our class at Sand Springs High School. I was privileged to be his debate partner during those years. Although our paths did not cross after that, the memories of his speaking style, quick thinking on his feet, and sharp rebuttal technique will not be forgotten. I join all those in mourning his death.

There are a handful of attorneys that I have counted as beacons for me to follow in my professional career. John is one of them and I have always remembered his advice about ethics and professionalism. He taught me to always ask the appropriate questions and to look for the answers in the details. I am so lucky to have had him as a teacher and am a better lawyer because of his influence. Sending prayers for peace, healing, happy memories, and restoration to Cindy, Nita and the rest of the family.

I count John as one of mentors. I fondly recall our times together first on ALI-ABA panels and then at ACREL. I still chuckle to myself when I recall his pronounciation of INsurance. I learned so much from him. My condolences and prayers to Nita and the rest of the Hastie family.

John Hastie was an outstanding student everywhere he attended school but particularly during his years as a student in Sand Springs High School and graduating in 1957. I, like all other classmates of John's, was saddened to learn today of his death. John was extremely supportive of our high school class's many activities since most of our retirement years and we will miss the great memories he leaves with all of us who knew him. Our prayers and fondest memories of John are with his wife and family during these days of sadness for them.
Most sincerely, George M. Paden, SSHS Class of 1957
