It is with a deep sadness that we report that the death has occurred, early this morning, of Mr Jerry Hackett, Corbally, Dublin Road, Thurles, Co Tipperary.
Mr Hackett was aged in his early seventies and will be remembered long, not just for his professionalism, logic and quiet generosity, but also for his, at all times, infectious good humour and outstanding wit.
Mr Hackett’s passing will be most deeply regretted by his loving wife Maura, his daughters Janet and Paula, sons Padraig, Conor and Niall, grandchildren, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law, sisters, his extended family, together with his great many friends and close acquaintances.

Mr Hackett will repose at his home, Corbally, Dublin Road, Thurles, Co Tipperary on Friday next March 14th 2014. His remains will arrive at The Cathedral of the Assumption here in Thurles on Saturday morning at 10.15am for 11.00am Requiem Mass and his burial will take place afterwards in St. Patrick’s Cemetery, Moyne Road, Thurles.
Note: The family have requested that his house remain private on Saturday morning next.

Jerry will be missed by many. He was a very close friend of mine. R.I.P JERRY.
To all the family of Jerry Hackett my condolences and you are all in my prayers
Just heard of Jerry’s death today. Jerry was a very good friend and colleague, we started in the ESB as apprentices back in 1956. I lost touch with Jerry over the last number of years and was deeply shocked to hear of his death. He was a great guy with a brilliant sense of humour and we had some fun times back in the good old days. To Maura his children and extended family I offer my deepest and belated sympathy. May he Rest in Peace
