Paul William Hatz

Paul has been my friend for 70 years going back to Jennings and playing baseball every day and all day long. Paul was the best baseball player I knew. Even though we went to different hi schools we still were together. In college we played against each other. After college we went our different ways but stayed in touch. 10 years ago we ran into each other at Breadco at it was like we were back in grade school on the baseball fields. Since then we have played golf together about 3 times a...

Todd, Laura, and families, I am so sad to hear of Paul's passing. He was such an incredibly kind and sincere man. His devotion to you family and to your mother was never ending. The legacy he leaves all of you is a priceless gift of support, boundless love, and example for a life well-lived. No doubt he and your mother will be watching over all of you for the rest of your lives.

Paul married my cousin Carlyn in 1963 and was part of my life since then. I will never forget the speech he gave at Laura’s wedding. The love for his family was evident from every word he so eloquently spoke. What an all around good guy. He will be missed by so many.

Now you can rest with the Angels your in very good hands now. I was so Blessed to spend time with you and Carlyn now you can live pain free God Bless you always had great conversations with me I will always Love you for that you have helped me more than you know with my own struggles and I thank you God has a higher purpose for you

Paul was a fabulous guy! So much fun to be around. I played on the Washington University baseball team with him. Paul was our fleet footed center fielder and one of our best players, but more than his enviable talents on the diamond, I remember the wonderful light spirit he brought to the world each and every day. I was lucky to have spent a few of my favorite years being with and playing along side of Paul. Fond, fond, fond, memories! My deepest condolences to the family for the loss of a...

To the Hatz family. I wish to pass on my condolences and thoughts.
When I moved from Australia to work with Peabody in the USA in 2001, Paul was also a great supporter and a wonderful colleague.
I remember him fondly. I am sure he is remembered that way by many.
Rest in Peace
Regards, Peter Fuss

To Todd, Laura and your families,
My deepest sympathy for the passing of your Dad, father-in-law and grandfather. I was so sorry to hear it.
Paul was such a fine husband, father and person.
Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,

Pat Marshall

My sympathy on Paul's passing. I remember Paul well from our days at Peabody. He was a very friendly, caring and compassionate person with a smile for everyone and a great sense of humor. I remember many discussions with him about St. Louis U. basketball - both of us attended many games and had seats near to each other. Rest in peace.
