I'm so sad that I'll never see Ron again. We spend many nights together at the Blue Note in Lynn on Sundays at the blues jam and he loved to hear me sing, "Damn Your Eyes".
I'll never forget him! So sorry to his family for their loss. Ron was a great guy and whenever we get together with the Blue Note crowd, we will think of Ron.

I called and called when I visited America to tell you I was in your country. I left voice messages. I was in America from 19th September to 7th October. I was worried I didnt hear from you. I called again but the phone had been disconnected. I wanted to tell you that my husband and I are expecting twins. I was so stressed out I had to google your name and I found this. Our hearts are broken. I never met you to know who you are. But my late son Michael and a couple of African kids had a very beautiful Xmas 2003 becuase of the gift you sent to him. Ron, Ron when will I stop crying. I don't know how to bear this pain. I don't even know anyone that knows you. I was hoping you would hang in there.

I am shocked and saddened on hearing of Ron's passing. Ron was moving on to Boston ATCT when I began my FAA career at BDR AFSS. Ron always offered advice to the new employees and would help us whenever needed. My fondest memory of him was during the BOS ARTCC sponsored annual softball tournament when our team from BDR was on our way to winning the championship. Ron was our most vocal supporter and stayed to the end to celebrate with us. You will be missed and always be remembered!

Ron was a great guy. I worked with him during my time at Boston ATCT and he always stopped by to chat with me in the office. Rest in Peace, now Ron, may God be with you and your family at this sad time.

I'm very sorry to hear from a friend that Ron passed away. We went to ATC school together in 1983. He was a quick wit & great at tennis doubles. Like most of us at the Academy I remember him being homesick & he frequently talked about his wife & daughters. I still have our class picture hanging in my hallway & am sure if you asked anyone in it, they would have a fond memory to tell you about Ron.

I'm so sorry to hear of Ron's death. He was a quiet man, but always had something funny to say to make people smile. He was so proud of his family and loved to show off pictures of Emily Rose. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I have many fond memories of Ron from our days in the FAA Academy, and later when we were co-workers in Bridgeport, CT. My daughters always looked forward to the days when the Hatch girls were coming over to play or we were going to visit the Hatch Family. Ron could always make me laugh. Ron will be missed but not forgotten.

I've known Mr. Hatch since I was 8 years old, his daughter Cara is my best friend. I practically lived at the Hatch residence when I was a kid, and Mr. Hatch always welcomed me into his home, whether it was to stop by, have a sleepover with Cara, or for a family meal, I always felt welcome. Although, I have not seen Mr. Hatch in a number of years, I will always remember and appreciate the memories I have had spending time with the Hatch family.

I worked with Ron at Boston Tower for about 15 years. He was a dedicated and smart controller who was always willing to share his expertise. I respected him a great deal and I'll miss him. Rest in Peace.
