Mr. John Hackler was one of the most enlightening bosses I have ever had. He gave me the freedom to truly design and create in the Interior Design department of his architectural firm. He challenged me to spread my wings and try new things. I will be forever grateful to have had the opportunity to create with this kind of freedom and guidance. He will always be a cherished person in my life. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and am saddened to hear of his passing. Kay Marshall...

John was a great man. I went to school with his son, who in later years became took on managerial duties for my recording band, The JETS. He had his father design a new logo for our drummer's bass drum head, which was used during the 1973 / 74 tours. I offer my deepest condolences to the family. He deserved a lot more credit for his accomplishments than he ever got in life. May he rest in peace.
