HATCH, Jonathan Noyes 53 years of age, of Saco ME, passed away on Thursday, September 25th, 2008 at the Maine Medical Center in Portland, after a long illness culminating in a brief hospitalization. Jonathan was born on February 16th, 1955 in Concord, MA, the youngest of four children of Richard and Mary-Jacquelin Hatch. After graduating from Concord Carlisle Regional High School in 1973, he worked for several years in Concord, before migrating to the Portland Maine area in 1979. He eventually settled in Saco where he lived from 1982 on. The center of Jonathan's life was always family and friends. He spent virtually all his adult years with his wife, the love of his life, Rhonda Ruggiero, formerly of Concord, MA, and later their two daughters, Kendall and Haven. Jonathan's boundless energy and enthusiasm for work and play was an inspiration to all who knew him. He was never without projects and activities. He worked for over 30 thirty years for Fedex, starting in the Boston area and later was part of the team who first expanded the business to Maine. He was a skilled craftsman and home remodeler, skills learned at early age from his father. His days spent in the close-knit community around the family's beach house at York, ME were among his happiest. Aside from his wife, two daughters and parents, he is also survived by his sisters Carrie Flood and Becky Meyers and his brother Myrick Hatch.
