ROBERT HACKETT Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 17, 2012.

ORRINGTON - Robert "Bobby" E. Hackett, 64, passed away July 15, 2012, at a Bangor hospital. He was born Nov. 8, 1947, in Bangor, son of William and Mary (Goodspeed) Hackett. Bobby was employed as a refrigeration engineer by R.M. Flagg for many years, and then moved on to do the same job for Shop 'n Save/Hannaford Brothers. He spent several years out at Pushaw Lake and then Brewer Lake. His passion was fly-fishing, hunting and other outdoor sports. His favorite place to fish was Second West Branch Pond, where he enjoyed many years of great fishing and camping, always taking along his beloved K-9 buddy. Bobby was an amazing father, a beloved brother and kind and giving friend to those he loved. He is survived by two daughters, Nicole Downing of Bucksport and Jami Downing of Bangor; grandchild, Ciera Downing of Bangor; and two sisters, Nancy Hamilton and Connie Bean Girard, both of Florida. Funeral services will be private for the family. A service of Brookings-Smith, Brewer Chapel. Condolences to the family may be expressed at www.BrookingsSmith.com.

It's hard to believe seven years have passed since Bobby left us. I miss working, fishing and hunting with him. But most of all not being able to call and talk with him. Joe

Bobby was a great guy... I knew Bob as he was always there to keep us plowed out. I also am in the Hvac business and spoke to him about his time in the trade. Our heartfelt condolences go out to the Hackett family.

BOB, R.I.P....our lives took us in different directions but, you still remained my bestest guy friend...I'll miss our phone calls. My favorite memories will be our fishing trips north, they were awesome,as were the many trout we ate. My pea soup will always bring fond memories, we could really go through lots of it in the winter months. To Nicole,Nancy,and his big brown lovable dog Bear and the rest of his family my heartfelt sympathies and prayers go out to you all. May your many memories bring you comfort in the days ahead. R.I.P. my friend. Love, Linda

Chickie and I are so very sorry to hear about Bobby's passing. We met & grew to love Bobby when he was living here at Brewer Lake. We ran into Bobby two summers ago and had the chance to catch up on life. We will miss his sweet spirit. It's hard to believe we lost him so young. We were hoping to see him again this summer.

Another former Brewer Lake neighbor and friend, Eileen Sherburne, posted a beautiful sunset photo that took place on Sunday over Johnson Mill Rd. It made me think of Bobby. It seemed as though this was Bobby's soul going off into the sunset to begin his next journey. It was a very peaceful, colorful sky, a gorgeous light.

We wish you peace as you move through this difficult time in your loss of him. Bobby's spirit will always be with you (and us) as he is not one who will ever be forgotten by those who loved him. Love you, Bobby!

RIP Bobby, RIP
