Hackett family,
I was sorry to read of your Dad's passing.
I grew up with your dad as a neighbor, teacher and advise giver. I can remember many drop in visits to my parents just to spend time together and exchange war stories. He did take pride in his mustang and was an inspiration to me.
My parent's passed two years ago and now with Sam's passing they are all gone. It's a very sad time for me.
My best to his family,
