I knew Bob well as a teammate on the Billerica football and Wrestling teams in the early 1980s. He was a pure gentleman and had a laugh as big as he was. He will be missed.

Could always talk to Bob with work issues and life issues. Can't believe your gone Bob! God bless. My prayers go out to you and your family.

Bob, one of the nicest guys I've ever had the privilege of knowing! He was my 1st college roommate at college "Dean" during summer football camp freshman year August 83'. I never ever heard a man snore like Bobby to this very day. If I didn't fall asleep B4 Bobby, I didn't sleep. Besides being a great man, he was an excellent football player and protected me for two years as my guard/tackle. We were last together about 5 years ago at the 25th reunion back at Dean. May god bless you and your family my friend, You will be missed! Till we meet again, and we will! my condolences, Jim

My thoughts and prayers go to the Hatch family. Bob was a good friend during my high school years. One summer night just driving around after graduation, talking and doing nothing. It's still one of my favorite memories. I'm lucky to have been his friend.
