Whenever I visit Olden's Pharmacy, I always pause to look at the great black- and- white photos of Fred and his beloved family and employees, and I remember what a happy difference he made for us McKinneys.

Dear Karen, I've only just come across your dad's notice. Your entire family was always welcoming to me. In particular your dad was always so ready with his kind-hearted manner and expression. On Burton Terrace I felt WELCOME. Sorry to be so late in expressing my sympathy to you and your extended family. Please extend a special acknowledgement to your mum. She may remember me.

A great loss for the Weymouth Community. Fred Hackett and his brother Walter, gave so much to the Town and its citizens. Olden's is a Weymouth Institution! My sympathy goes out to the Hackett family for their loss. Jodi Purdy-Quinlan

As a fellow pharmacist I became well acquainted with Fred and considered him a good friend. I moved away from Massachusetts in 1957 but whenever I returned to visit my parents I made it a special point to stop by and say hello to Fred at Olden's. My sincere best wishes to Fred's family and especially to his brother, Jack, who graduated from Weymouth High School with me.

To the Hackett family, we knew Mr Hackett through the Olden's store for many years, he and his employees were allways very helpful and understanding, there are things and people that we remember in life and my wife and I have allways remeber that on one Thanksgiving Eve at 11:00 PM I called him at his home because my wife was out of her medication, he took the called and I met him at the store and in a few minutes he refilled the medication for us, ON THANSGIVING EVE and we are sure that there are probably many more stories similar to ours, truly a good man, neighbor, friend,family man, he is in our prayers.

A great guy who always had a genuine interest in what was going on in 'your' life. A true friend to my parents and a very good tennis player. I had the honor of playing doubles with my dad and Fred on several occasions and Fred always enjoyed the competition as well as the company. I can't say enough good words about the man. My sincere condolences to the entire Hackett family.

Fred Hackett was a great friend of my Dad and Mother. We saw him and wife Pat a lot at our home in South Weymouth. He was just a great guy. He played tennis with my Dad - Bill McKinney - and some of their friends.. one day my Dad had chest pains and had to stop playing... Fred insisted he go to the hospital over my father's (stubborn) objections. Fred won... My father had triple bypass surgery.. maybe quadruple? But our family had another 25 years with their Dad.. Thank you Fred... Fred was a very nice man and friend of the family. Was always good to see him. Sorry for your loss.
