Judy. I learned a lot from Ron. He was a good man. As my five year old daughter said when my dad died, "Jesus walked on dirt like pop and now they are both in heaven
But, they will always live in our heart" i know Ron will always live in the hearts of many. God Bless

We met Ron & Judy in1971. Thats when we moved in across the street, w/ our 3 daughters. You couldn't have found better neighbors nor friends. We were a close net group on Lancey Dr. Hacketts door was always open and you were always welcomed with open arms. We will miss him and our prayer is for strength for Judy and the children at this time. Ron is now resting in the arms of his Lord and Savior, no more pain and a new body. What a blessing it is to know that. Rest in Peace Ron (Dad) Hackett.

I remember Ron Hackett very well. I met him when I joined the Stan. Co. S/O. He was a very well liked Deputy even by the inmates I talked to, and was very fair to all. My prayers are with his family at this time of loss.
