I have many fond memories of the man I knew as "Mr. Hackett." He drove our school bus for many years and I remember once I even accidently called him dad. I didn't know that he was a veteran, but it doesn't surprise me---kids didn't mess with him. My deepest sympathy, thoughts and prayers go to all the family members.

I wish to express my deepest sympathy for your loss. I enjoyed talking with him when I delivered meals from the Senior Meal site. He will be greatly missed.
