NIALL PATRICK HACKETT

We were so blessed to have met you on the cruise to Alaska. Here I am so many years later and having fond memories of Niall and Terri and your warm welcome to your home and meeting Connor and Declan.

I'm obviously late here as I had no idea Niall had passed. My condolences. I hope time has helped a bit. I worked with him in Long Beach and lost touch when you moved. I've always remembered him fondly. Such a great jovial character and "game" for whatever comes. I'm a bit Irish so I always felt like I was touching my roots knowing him and I've recounted stories over the years that I recall about Niall. I've always thought I might see him again. I'm sorry I won't. Again, sincere...

Our birthdays were 1 day apart, up to Henderson avenue on the 17/06 and down to Victoria gardens on the 18/06, sound guy and missed I have you in my thoughts Sean

I'm so sorry for all of Niall's family; he was such a great man and role model. We volunteered every Friday at St Paul's Academy where he regaled us with stories new and old. He was so open and gregarious, and loved working with all the little kids, frequently giving them a little extra 'test' and then praise. I can't believe he'll be gone from that place, but I know everyone who knew him will have him in their hearts forever! His spirit was huge. Thank you for your presence, Niall.

I was over in Belfast last week looking for Niall Or Chi as we called him when I heard the news. I knew Niall when we were knocking about the Antrim road with John and the rest of the boys. We both left Belfast at the same time and on occasions we would meet up when we returned to Belfast. Niall went onto the boats and I went to London . We never forgot our roots and i was sadden to hear about Niall. A few of his old friends and I had our own wake for Chi last week and may his soul and...

I only had a casual contact with Niall, as I am "just" the recycle driver. But he always greeted me warmly and treated me like a friend. He walked his dogs by my house years ago and from then on he would leave me a Christmas card at my door. The last time I saw him was late winter and I was telling him about the unexpected death of my brother. He leant a good ear to let me express my sorrow, talking to me about one has to live their life like it was their last day. I appreciated his time, his...

Many of us are compassionate. Few of us can muster the time, energy, and courage to put it into action, even on occasion. Niall was one of those rare souls who practiced love as a way of life. For this, he will be dearly missed, and never forgotten.

Thank you, Niall, for reaching out and taking care of our son, Nick, as only you could. You touched him, and us, in a profound way. Knowing that you walk with him now brings us the greatest of comforts. Our hearts remain bonded...

Niall was a great customer of mine at the bellingham mower shop. He and his family went out of there way to help me through some of my family hard times years ago with a big heart and prayed for me and my family. I will never forget our long talkes. I owe a lot to you because of this. Thank you niall and your family. I was your lawnmower man and a greatfull to have known you. May god look over your family and peace be with u. Your friend norm Peterson.

He will be strong for Terri and Declan shall be her safe haven as they and I and Robert shall always cherish you, my friend.......rest well.
