Joseph "Frank" Hackett
(1932 - 2015)
Joseph “Frank" Hackett peacefully joined his loved ones in Heaven on October 2, 2015 after a brief illness with Cancer of the lung.
He was born Nov. 5, 1932 in Bronx, NY to Thomas and Nellie (McGarry) Hackett (Both from Ireland). He married Florence Gear in 1955 and saw the birth of Thomas, Maureen and Joseph. After her demise in 1961,with the help of family he raised the three children himself. In 1971, he married Eileen Costello in Richmond Hill, NY and they added Timothy and Kevin to the family.
He served in the Marine Corps, pst Division, 7th Regimen during the Korean War. He graduated from Manhattan College and worked 35 years for Union Carbide Corp., Eveready Battery Div. and Ralston Purina as a Sales Rep.

He enjoyed playing baseball growing up, and later coached his sons in baseball and basketball. An avid, and sometimes frustrated NY Giant football fan, Sunday was his day to get the "Giant" headache.
He loved to tell stories and sing "Danny Boy". He enjoyed reading, going to the casino, vacationing in Cabo San Lucas and especially the trip to Ireland to see his relatives.
He is predeceased by his brother Thomas, sisters Elinore (Eastman), Rita (Kirwin) and son, Thomas. He is survived by his wife of 44 years, Eileen; children Maureen (Bender), Joseph, Timothy, Kevin (Tamara) Hackett; and grandchildren Thomas, James, Daniel, Rylie and Haydin.

Manhattan College has expansion plans
By Isabel Angell
Posted 10/14/15
*** begin quote ***
Manhattan College is planning to expand its campus within the next decade. The plans could include buying two lots on West 240th Street between Irwin and Tibbett Avenues, just across the street from Gaelic Park.
College officials have not finalized a master plan, or made the draft public, but an April article in the college’s newspaper
The Quadrangle explained that officials want to expand their science-focused south campus and further integrate it with the main campus. That would require the college to purchase the lots on West 240th Street, which include Karl’s Auto Body and the now-closed Riverdale Auto Body.
The article also quoted Andy Ryan, the college’s vice president of facilities, as saying he was “reasonably confident” the school could acquire the land.

Homeless woman found dead at Hong Kong McDonald’s 24 hours after she sat down as unaware customers ate
Social welfare groups have raised concerns about the lack of support for people living on the fringes of society

Police are trying to confirm the identity of a homeless woman who was found dead in a 24-hour McDonald’s outlet at a public housing estate in Kowloon Bay yesterday morning.
The case has raised concern among social welfare groups about the lack of support for people living on the fringes of society.
The woman, aged around 50 to 60 years, was found slumped over her table in a quiet corner, 24 hours after she entered the restaurant at Ping Shek Estate, while other customers were unaware what had happened.
She was 1.6 metres tall, with short black hair and wearing black-rimmed glasses. She was dressed in a gray long-sleeved overcoat, white t-shirt and black trousers, and wore slippers. Although she had a bag and a wallet on her, she had no identification documents.
It is believed she was a street-sleeper who regularly spent her nights in McDonald’s.

So sad.
Family? No friends? No one to care about her passing?
Makes you wonder what a cold and heartless species we are.
And, no, I don’t want some Gooferment program to take care of everyone from cradle to grave.
Just personal compassion and charity.
Dona Nobis Pacem
Requiescat In Pacem, poor soul.
