Stan Von Hagen Has Passed

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Stanley Von Hagen who died peacefully on Friday, September 20, 2024. He was 86.
Stan was a distinguished and treasured professor of pharmacology and statistics for many years at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey before his retirement.


Stan was an accomplished rhythm bones player attending many Bones Fest with his wife, Jean. He learned about rhythm bones from the Carolina Chocolate Drops and then found RBS. Their first Fest was in Grand Rapids, MI in 2014 and they attended every Bones Fest since then except BFXXI in San Antonio. Steve Brown notes, “A great member, a great player, and incredibly nice person. He will be missed.”
