This is such sad news. Bob sounds like he was a true pillar in ACB and helping
those in the blind and visually impaired community.
My condolences to Bob's wife Donna, family and friends.
Sincerely,
Sarah Calhoun

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
