Mr. Hackett,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I remember many dinners in Pembroke, when we lived in Hanover.
My Mother remembers Bobby making her fried lobster whenever she wanted. His hospitality was second to none!
My your memories provide you comfort in your loss.

To Mary and Family,
What an exceptional human being to say the least! I believe anyone who had the pleasure of knowing “Bobby” was the better for it, such a kind and compassionate man indeed. There is an old saying: “Do a good for someone else and not be found out” these are words I live by and admire others who do the same. Bobby did so many goods for others behind the scenes and I suspect each and every one of us knows a few of these.
Chris, that was a wonderful tribute to your Dad you wrote!
My sincere condolences,
Michael C. Frates

We were so so sorry to hear of Bobby's passing. I will always remember the special treatment he gave Lynne and the rest of my family - Lynne loved Bobby and still misses the resteraunt.
He will always be in our hearts.

Dear Mike,Karen,Kevin,Mark and Mary,
My family had lots of GREAT memories of Bobby going all the way back to the Red Coach days and as regulars at the Pembroke restaurant when they moved to Duxbury. Bobby used to take me back to the kitchen when I was a youngster at the RCG and put me to "work". Maybe he was the one who inspired my passion for the restaurant business. We will all miss him. All the best. George Wilkinson, Jr.

To the Hackett Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Bobby's passing. We had so many great times at Hacketts and Bobby always came over to visit, we went most every Sunday night for years. Also I worked with him on the Fish Fry for many years with Bonnie Sherman, thanks Bobby.
Love to your family

Dear Mike,Karen,Kevin,Mark and Mary:
Thank you and your Dad for making me feel like I was part of a great family. I remember many of my meetings with your dad usually contained a valuable life lesson whether I thought I needed it or not. As I grow older I realize he taught me much and I appreciate it so much.
Your Friend,
Joe

Condolances to the entire Hackett family. Mr.Hackett's life and career are well known, and not by accident.
As a co-worker and friend of Chris, I had more than one opportunity to enjoy the "tastes" from Bobby Hackett's.
Best of luck to you all, and god bless you during this challenging time.

For many, myself included, working in the kitchen at Hackett's was part of our growing up; and Bobby was larger than life. I still make "Sauteed Shrimp," and "Delmonico Potatoes" all the time.
My thoughts are with your family.

It's always a sad day when we lose such a fine person and true friend. We'll always remember the great times and family get togethers we had at the restaurant and especially that Bobby always took the time to come by and talk to all of us and always remembered all of our names. A true Gardner family friend for so many years will be sorely missed. Our prayers to all of Bobby's family and friends, certainly a very long list.

With sadness, our thoughts are with the Hackett family. We had the good fortune to come to know Bobby as Friday regulars at the Hingham Red Coach. For many of us, it became like a club. With the opening of his Pembroke restaurant, the scene changed but not the relationship.

Mary, Michael, Mark, Kevin, Karen and Christopher, My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Bobby was one of those wonderful personalities who stood out from everyone else. My Dad always talked about the great times they had together in the Red Coach days, and how much he treasured his friendship. He was a shining success story of hard work, discipline, integrity and loyalty to his friends.
