I never met Bob, but he handled the list moderator job extremely well. He
always had some kind things to say about some of my emails. He and I got along
on the list very well, and I truly believe that if I’d met him we would have
gotten along very well! Phil Jones

I'm so sorry he's left us, and glad he didn't suffer longer.

Subject: [leadership] Bob
I am so sad to learn that Bob Hachey passed away today. Bob was the kind of
person I would have described to someone who had never met him as a “good
guy,” kind and gregarious, a great teller of stories, and passionate about
progressive causes and dedicated to justice for all.
The first time I met Bob, we were sitting next to one another on a bus, going
somewhere – maybe to Capitol Hill, maybe to a group dinner, I think it was
during an ACB Legislative Seminar. Bob shared some funny stories with me,
and the thing I remember most about our conversation was that he told me how
much he loved his wife, Donna, and many of the reasons why. I have never met
Donna, but I always kept a soft spot in my heart for her, I knew I would like
her.
Bob was dedicated to making life better for people who are blind, and to ACB
in particular. He spent more hours than many of us would ever consider
spending on e-mail, as a moderator for ACB’s e-mail discussion lists. As a
moderator, he was patient and welcoming and thoroughly committed to civility
and the free exchange of information.
My deepest sympathies to Donna and all of Bob's friends and family members.
Rest in peace, Bob. We will miss you.
Sincerely,
Penny Reeder
