James Bob Hackett

To Bob's Family,
To say Bob was a "highly valued assistant" to the staff at Reid Funeral Home does not do him justice. Bob's attention to detail and the families served in funeral service was, and still is, very respected. Many families have not forgot his compassion. His work ethic went beyond the call of duty.
I consider it a honor to have worked with Bob in funeral service.

Carole, Arthur, Jimmy, Ellen, Kathy, Thomas, spouses, children, grandchildren:
My sincerest sympathy and all my love. Your Dad was a great guy.

To Tom & Kathy,
I am so very sorry for the loss of your Dad. I'll always remember your Dad as a kind, easy-going guy who always treated me with the utmost kindness and respect. I'm glad I knew him. Hopefully you can take a bit of solace in knowing that your Dad and Mom are finally together again.

It doesn’t seem that long ago that the friendly hand of Bob Hackett greeted me at the threshold of the Funeral Home. He could always break the tension that you feel at those sad and awkward times. Always a pillar of honor and dignity, he defined the word gentleman. I am very sorry to hear that he is gone and my thoughts are with Art and the Family.

Art and Family, I am truly sorry for the loss of your father. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

To Bob's Family:
I was very sorry to receive the phone call telling me of Bob's passing. Bob and I would check in with each other from time to time, and invariably we would mention how the number of old friends is dwindling. I'm personally sorry to have lost Bob, and I send you all my sincere sympathy.

Dear Art & Family:
Elaine and I plus our "crew" sincerely express our deepest regrets to you all. Please know that when I received the phone call, I prayed for your dad's soul and have been doing so since. After reading the obituary and seeing "Gate of Heaven," leads me to promise you that I will say a Golden Hail Mary as often as I can throughout day because the "Gate of Heaven" is the Blessed Mother of Christ. Both the Litiny to The Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Litiny to the Blessed...

Uncle Bob and Rua, Many e-mails and photos sharing your life with us across the miles. So many humerous antidotes on life with our dogs and the love and companionship they bring into our lives. We miss you so much.

To the Hackett Family,
I'm very sorry for your loss. I've always had the utmost respect for Mr. Hackett; and feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to have known him. Your family will be in my prayers.
