He is survived by his son, Patrick Hache, of Tupper Lake; granddaughter, Bella; his siblings, Gary (Pamela) Hache, of Hagerstown, MD and Mary (Rudy) Rivera, of Ladson, S.C. and several nieces, nephews, and cousins. The family would like to extend a special thanks to Dave Hachey for his friendship and all the help he gave John.

John was born on April 10, 1950, in Tupper Lake, the son of the late Lawrence and Pauline Payment Hache. He graduated from Tupper Lake Central School and went on to Schenectady Community College where he received an Associate’s Degree.

John enlisted in the U.S. Army and was honorably discharged before going to work as a correctional officer. He retired from Adirondack Correctional Facility after 25 years.

He enjoyed skiing and riding motorcycles, passions that reflected his adventurous spirit and love for the outdoors. Winter was his favorite season—he truly lived for the snow and the thrill of the slopes. Whether carving down a mountain trail or cruising on two wheels, he embraced every moment with energy and enthusiasm. His joy for these pursuits was contagious, and he often inspired others to share in the excitement of the ride and the beauty of the season.

Donations in his memory, may be made to the American Cancer Society, PO Box 6704, Hagerstown, MD 21741.
