OAKLAND – It is with great sadness to announce the passing of a truly wonderful man, Thomas C. Hachey. Tom was born on Dec. 12, 1957, in Waterville, Maine, the son of Lois Hachey and Edward F. Hachey. Tom passed way too early on Feb. 2, 2023, battling an extremely hard fight with cancer. He was a devoted husband to his wife Jan Hachey, a Dad to his children, Michael and Lauren Hachey, and a Grampy to his little princess Ellie Hachey. Tom’s smile would light up a room and everyone knew he always had a good story to tell.

Early on, he started his long stretch of employment after graduating from Waterville High School in 1976, just making enough beer money to make it back and forth to hockey games with the boys. This eventually led him to working for the Waterville Police Department where he met his partner in “crime”, Steve Thompson. A few years went by and they decided to purchase Arbo’s Towing and Repair along with other investments down the road. Tom and Steve worked together for a total of 42 years until Tom retired three years ago.

Aside from work, Tom was an avid outdoorsman that loved to hunt, fish, and hang out at camp. A group of close friends got together to build a beautiful camp in Northeast Carry right on Moosehead Lake. Making memories with friends and family, there was no place Tom would rather go (besides Pennsylviania/Alaska). From moose hunts, deer hunts, bird hunts, fishing trips, ice fishing, you name it- camp was the place to be.

Tom loved watching and playing sports his entire life. From cheering on his New England teams to coaching all of Michael and Lauren’s youth teams, Tom never missed a game or an opportunity to yell from the stands.

Tom is also survived by his sister Virginia Joseph, brother Michael and wife Mary Hachey. His nephews Gregory Joseph, Steven and wife Sherri Hachey, as well as their two children Dylan and Cameron Hachey.

Services will be held at Notre Dame Church on Silver Street in Waterville at 10 a.m., on Thursday, March 2. A reception is to follow immediately after the service at the Elks Lodge banquet room in Waterville.
