Edward Hackett
HOOSICK FALLS, NY Edward Hackett, 76, died suddenly Friday, May 23, after a long illness. Lifelong residents of Hoosick Falls, N.Y., he and his wife of 53 years, Barbara, were also winter residents of Naples, Fla., since retirement. Ed owned and operated several local bars and restaurants for many years. When Ed left the restaurant business he went to work for various milk processing companies, as a dairy inspector. His personality was well suited for both of those careers and he quickly gained friendship and affection of most people he met, both young and old. He gained another new batch of loyal friends while living in Florida. Ed earned a reputation as one of the most consistently good shuffleboard players on his team. Survivors, other than his wife, are his sons, Joseph Hackett and Kevin Button (Robin); his daughter, Loreen Hackett, all of Hoosick Falls; grandchildren, Nicole Aldrich (Josh), Tori (Victoria) Hackett, Owen Hackett, and Darcie Hackett; great-grandchildren, Alyssa and Corey Aldrich. Ed was also survived by cousins, nieces and nephews, including one cousin to whom he was a substitute dad, John Waitekus. FUNERAL NOTICE: Relatives and friends may call at the Mahar Funeral Home, 43 Main Street, Hoosick Falls, on Saturday, May 31, from 6 to 8 p.m. Memorial contributions may be made to Rensselaer County Hospice through the funeral home.

Barbara, Joseph, Kevin, Loreen & Family.
Hannelore and I are deeply saddened by Ed's Passing. Ed and I were very good friends and I shall always give him the credit for the success of my band in the 60s, Ruff Francis & the Illusions.
The 3 Way was our first job and although we needed a lot of improvement, Ed allowed us to play on weekends and watched us develop. Those days at the 3 Way will not be forgotten by the bands who played there or the young people who frequented the Club every weekend.
Ed Hackett was a gentleman,a sportsman, a man with a heart of gold.
He will always be in our Prayers

Ed, I will never forget the nite that you took me along to go frog hunting in cow ponds. You had tears in your eyes from laughing so hard when my boots got stuck and I took a header in cow crap.
