Name Walter Dean HACKER [1, 2, 3] Geburt 20 Apr 1935 Muncy Valley, Sullivan, Pennsylvania, USA 
[1, 2, 3] Geschlecht männlich Gestorben 6 Mai 2016 Olympia, Thurston, Washington, USA [2, 4] - Obituary of Walter Dean Hacker
On Friday, May 6, 2016, Walter Dean Hacker picked up his fishing pole and left for his fishing date with our Lord. He was surrounded by his Olympia family at the end. He will be missed by all who knew him. He will, however, be welcomed home by his daughters, his parents, siblings, and many, many friends. He will also be greeted at the Rainbow Bridge by his many pets, including Lady, Toby, and OJ, some of his favorites.
Walter was born on April 20, 1935, in Muncy Valley, Pennsylvania to Harry Ottimer Hacker and Vera Snavely Hacker. He was the youngest of eight children by almost eight years, and after the death of his mother when he was five, he was sent to Point Pleasant, New Jersey to be raised by his mother’s sister Margaret and her husband Rudolph Schmidt. He is survived by many nieces and nephews in Pennsylvania and other eastern locales.
Walter joined the United States Navy in 1952 and served for 20 years (mostly on submarines) before retiring in 1972 to Honolulu, Hawaii. He served on many “diesel boats” and later nuclear powered “fast attacks” or “boomers” (those that launched missiles). Walter visited ports all over the world, but his absolute favorite port of call was Copenhagen, Denmark. He had many stories about his submarine adventures, and those who had the good fortune to be regaled by them should consider themselves very lucky. Besides riding submarines, Walter also did some security work for the Navy in both Norfolk, Virginia, and on the rivers of Vietnam. He even did a stint as an electronics instructor at a secret (at the time) weapons base near Dam Neck, Virginia. He told stories about how the water moccasin snakes were the only perimeter guards they needed since the base was built in the middle of a swamp. The name Hacker served him very well since much of his career in the Navy was related to computers. Walter retired at the rank of Chief Petty Officer and has now joined his fellow shipmates on the submariners’ final patrol.
Walter married Irene Roberts in 1953 and had six daughters with her: Carol Schmidt (David) and Walene Baniaga of Honolulu; Debrah Pascual of Oklahoma City; and Diana Guerrero (Luis) of San Diego, California. He was preceded in death by Shari Huihui and Vanessa Henry. He is survived by many grandchildren and great grandchildren. He was very proud of his grandson, Richard Daos, who is an officer in the United States Navy.
After he retired in Honolulu, Hawaii, Walter went to work for the Hawaiian Flour Mills, first on the flour production line (lifting 100 pound bags of flour), then as a warehouse worker and ultimately he became the warehouse manager. He met Fawn Thompson in 1974 when she came to work at the mill, and in 1976, they were married at Fort Shafter in Honolulu. Walter and Fawn celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary on February 14, 2016. They have one son, Dean Walter Hacker (Amanda) and two grandsons, Raiden and Asher of Olympia.
After the birth of their son Dean in 1980, Walter and Fawn decided to leave Hawaii and move to Washington. Starting over in a new place was an adventure for the entire family. The first home they rented in Olympia was perfect for those new to the area - it had two apple trees, a cherry tree, a peach tree, a plum tree, many fir trees, an English walnut tree, and a grove of hazelnut trees since the property had once been a filbert farm. In addition, there was a huge blackberry patch, and, being newcomers, they didn’t know that Washingtonians considered blackberries as pests. Many jars of delicious, homemade jam were produced for folks back in Hawaii from the bountiful blackberry crop. There was also a lot of wildlife - deer, squirrels, rabbits, bobwhites, eagles, robins and swallows (that nested in the Camellia bushes out front and in the light fixture outside the front door). The house is gone now, but the memories made there will last forever.
Walter’s first job in Olympia was with Snelling & Snelling employment agency. He then went to work for Radio Shack/Tandy Corporation, first as a salesman and then as a store manager.
The family moved to Sequim when Walter was promoted to store manager of the Port Angeles store. Walter was a great salesperson and, as a store manager, he earned many awards and trips. He traveled to Fort Worth, Texas; San Diego, California; and was given all-expenses paid trips for he and Fawn to Maui, Hawaii and Lake Tahoe, Nevada.
Walter suffered a heart attack in 1985 and, after recovery, discovered that being a Radio Shack store manager was too stressful, so he went back to being a salesman in the Silverdale store. The family returned to Olympia in 1987 when Fawn’s mother relocated to Washington after the death of her husband. They all moved into the current family home. Walter then went to work for a Radio Shack computer center in Tacoma and then the one in Olympia. When the computer centers were sold to Grid, a California-based company¸ he stayed on with them in Olympia. At the end of his working career, he was employed by Ballard Computer and was one of the last employees on the payroll when they went out of business. Walter retired completely in 1997.
Walter enjoyed many things. He and Fawn square danced for many years, belonging to clubs in both Honolulu and Olympia. He loved to read and would read one book every day; his Kindle became his best friend. Walter was also a member of Harmony Lodge #18 F&AM, the Scottish Rite Olympia Valley, and he was a past Patron of Olympia Chapter #36 Order of the Eastern Star. For many years, Walter owned property on the Hoh River where he could camp, fish, and shoot-three of his most favorite things to do. He also loved working with his hands doing automobile and small engine repairs or doing woodwork. Walter always had an idea about something to build and he was the best handyman!
Walter didn’t want a church service, rather he wanted his friends to have a party and that’s what we’re planning. Please join the family in a celebration of Walter’s life on Saturday, July 23, 2016, at the Tumwater Masonic Center, 521 North Street in Tumwater at 12:00 noon. We will have lunch and music and conversation. Dress comfortably.
