– 67, died at his home in Barton on August 7, 2018. It is with deep sadness the family of Mr. Randall announces his death. Although born in Concord, New Hampshire, on February 25, 1951, he was a Vermonter through and through.  He was known for his dry Vermont humor delivered in his thick Vermont accent.  So many lives are better because of him.  He was a husband, a father, an adoptive father, a foster father, and a loyal friend.  He was the oldest child of Earle and Wanda, an only son and the best big brother his sisters could have asked for.  He was the “cool” uncle.  He was funny, easy going, and a craft beer connoisseur –– before it was cool.  His laugh was infections.  His cooking was exceptional, and watching the New England Patriots and Boston Red Sox with him was the best.  He loved to spend time in the outdoors whether it was skiing, hunting, or riding the back roads of Vermont in his Toyota truck in the company of one or all three of his beloved canine companions. Mr. Randall graduated from Lake Region Union High School Class of 1969.  He continued his education at Vermont Technical College, earning an associate’s degree in surveying.  He was part of the upper management team at Ethan Allen and finished out his career as a burn technician at Blanchard Oil Company. Mr. Randall is survived by his loving wife, Kay; his beloved children: Avery, Shanna, Kye and his fiancée, Heather,  Angel, and Merlin; his treasured father, Earle; his dearly loved sisters: Susan and her wife, Linda, Lenna, and Gail and her husband, Skip; his adored granddaughters: Sophia and Cassidy; his cherished nephews and nieces: Devin and his wife, Linnea, Lindsay and her husband, Greg, Bradley, Dustin, Veronica, and Clark; and his much loved grandnephews: Braylen, Kellen, and Jace.  Mr. Randall was predeceased by his beloved mother, Wanda. He was so loved that the grief our family is experiencing is daunting.  There is a hole we think cannot be filled, but it will be made lighter by our memories of him and the gift it was to have him in our family. A celebration of his life will be held on Monday, September 3, from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. at 479 Willoughby Lake Road, Barton.  In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Mary E. Wright Halo Foundation. It would be greatly appreciated. The Halo Foundation provided wonderful assistance to his family in their time of need.  One hundred percent of all donations go directly to families who need financial support due to the mounting cost associated with a diagnosis of cancer. The family thanks Mr. Randall’s fellow employees at Blanchard Oil for their generous and constant support. The family thanks the wonderful community he called home for their support.  Thank you to Val Whipple, Funeral Director at Curtis-Britch-Converse-Rushford, for his kindness and compassion in this difficult time.

He would often greet his customers with “How ya doing buddy?” Rural Community Transportation Inc. (RCT) was another favorite job of his. He was nice to everyone. Steven Berard is Mr. Berard’s son, and he was his pride and joy. He was the happiest when he was sharing (bragging) about his son’s accomplishments.

In 1975, Mr. Hackett sold it to Fred Oeschger, currently Fred’s Plumbing and Heating of Derby. Then in 1976, he and his wife purchased the Shattuck Hill Mobile Home Park. Mr. Hackett, with Mrs. Hackett at his side, operated the park and 18 to 25 rental apartments on Main Street in Derby for over 20 years. He was never one to be idle. He had a stump removing business for a time. As his son Earl became a farmer, he helped in more ways than anyone can count. Mr. Hackett was an excellent fabricator, passing this skill on to his son. Together they have built and rebuilt all kinds of things. While in the plumbing business he designed and built his truck bodies to make his service calls efficient. He built larger truck bodies, snow trail groomers for the snowmobile club, and numerous other projects to improve the workplace. Many of the designs were formulated on a napkin or scrap of paper at the dinner table while on lunch break. His practical creativity was a gift the entire family has accessed throughout the years. In all his adventures, Mrs. Hackett was his ‘right hand man’ –– always by his side in work or play. They enjoyed their time with their children, Debra Lynn, Shirley Ann, and Earl Leland. When the kids were young, he built a summer camp on Lake Salem. He enjoyed waterskiing and always had a boat to tow all who were ready to go for a ski. He even tried some Cypress Garden style shows with building pyramids, skiing on trick skis, and even some backward underwater starts. Snowmobiling was a major part of the winter activities. The Hacketts have been lifelong residents of Derby. Mr. Hackett was active in the community. He served as a selectman for the town of Derby for 17 years. He was the first trail-coordinator for the Orleans County Snowmobile Club. He was a charter member of the Elks Club and was a member for over 56 years. He was a member of the Derby Lion’s Club. During this time, Mr. Hackett co-organized the Derby Fourth of July celebrations for many years. He was an initial investor in Jay Peak Ski Resort. He was a member of the Drift Dusters Snowmobile Club, actively helping to groom and maintain trails all over the Northeast Kingdom. In one year a fellow member, Joe Lippens, helped him build over 11 bridges. Another hobby for Mr. Hackett was antique cars. He was a member of the Cars of Yesteryear. He owned a ’55 Packard for 19 years –– a familiar sight in the Derby Fourth of July parade. He also had a ’76 Cadillac convertible and ’58 Edsel. He lost his bride of 67 years and love of his life in January of this year. Mr. Hackett is survived by his sister-in-law Tillie Pierce of Medway, Massachusetts; daughter Debra and her husband, Bob Partridge, of Derby; daughter Shirley Hackett and partner, Dan Souliere, of Derby; son Earl and his wife, Karen Hackett, of Derby; he also leaves behind a number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren: Leah Partridge of McLean, Virginia, Toby and Colleen Partridge, and their children, Maria and Avery of Chippewa, Pennsylvania, Katelyn and Aaron Elzinga, and their children, Mia and Kade of Grand Rapids, Michigan, Ben and Michelle Partridge, and their daughters, Polly and Sadie of Derby, Daniel and Meagan Van Woert of Fairfield, Andrea Van Woert and her partner, and her daughter, Addison, of Derby, and Carl Hackett of Willow Spring, North Carolina, as well as many other nieces and nephews.
