Merle Hazen, haytrader, died in a car accident this past Sunday. His funeral will be tomorrow the 19th.

I received the following from his family.

Hello. My name is Lindi and I am Merle's youngest daughter. I am sorry I have to tell you this by email, but my father passed away in a car accident early Sunday afternoon. His funeral is tomorrow afternoon. If you would like to email back that is fine. He was a great man and will be missed by many.

Sad news indeed. I'm sorry for his family's loss and ours, as a long time forum member.

Sad news indeed. He stopped by our grinding operation in Ok just after we got started to check us out. He was a pretty neat guy. He usually had some pithy comments for the forum. Haytrader will be missed. Condolences to his family, you are in our prayers.

I am saddened to learn of this. I will miss his colorful sense of humor and folksy sayings. He stopped by here for a couple of hours one time and we had a ball swapping yarns in the "spittin' and whittlin'" area. I'll miss him a lot.

I didn't know him personally, but I'll miss him.

I am saddened to hear of it as well. Merle was a member I would have liked to meet.

Merle and I talked hay a good bit through pm's. He was one of those guys you would love to sit down with for a long spell and chew the fat. My prayers go out to his family. Rest in peace my friend.

A man I never met, but, considered a REAL good friend. We had talked about a project for us to work together.

Sorry I never got to shake his hand. I will miss his correspondence, greatly.

Condolences to his family. A true loss to humanity.

Here is a picture of Haytrader (far right) and wife when we met at a Wood-Mizer open house in Mt. Vernon, Mo in 2002.

Condolences to his family and many friends.

How very sad. On August 6th he posted the Amazing Grace thread.

"My heroes have always been cowboys.
And they still are, it seems.
Sadly, in search of, but one step in back of,
Themselves and their slow-movin' dreams." ~ Willie Nelson

It's hard to believe our rodeo buddy is gone. My prayers to his family. He was so proud of his family. An incredible loss for us all.

This news makes my heart heavy. Very sad indeed. Our condolences to his family. I remember him telling me that he and I both had the "trading" in our blood. We joked about how tolerant our wives were because they never knew what we'd bring home from one of our trips out. I enjoyed his posts. He'll be missed.

Be careful out there folks.

I'm really saddened to hear of Haytrader's passing. He's always been here it seems and will be missed. I remember the time he and his wife were making things out of redwood and were going to sell them online. My prayers are for his family. He'll be missed on the forum.
