CONWAY â Retired middleweight champion Marvelous Marvin Hagler, who died last Saturday at his Bartlett home at age 66, was remembered as one of the valleyâs own after the famous boxer first started coming here in the early 1980s, then bought a home in Bartlett in 1985.
âAs far as Iâm concerned, he was the valleyâs celebrity,â is how Terry OâBrien, co-owner of the Red Parka Steakhouse and Pub in Glen, summed up Hagler.
Bartlett Police Chief Christopher Keaton said police logs show that Hagler was transported by Bartlett-Jackson Ambulance Services from his home near Attitash to North Conwayâs Memorial Hospital on Friday evening.
