Donald Hatch

Rest in peace to a wonderful and caring educator.

I was saddened to hear that Mr. Hatch had passed. I grew up on Linden ave, and went to school with Jeff. He was my Principle at Westfield Junior High School. In life sometimes certain people have a lasting impression on you. Mr Hatch did!
My sincere condolences go out to his Family

Cousins Bill, Tom, Mike, and Jeff, and families,
From Sherman St. to Ham Hill to So. Maple St, and all the trips for both our families between Westfield and Oceanside, I'll always have fond memories of your Dad taking all of us on some new adventure, or bailing us out when one of our own went bad.
I'm so glad that you had so much of your lives to spend with with him, and know he'll be happy to finally rejoin your Mom.
He certainly has my vote to be a first ballot inductee into the...

Don was a super great guy! I am honored to have been able to know him through my employment at the American Inn. His quick wit and humor just made my day. I loved his stories and pictures he shared of his family, especially of the great grand children. He will be missed and remembered by his kind heart. My sincere condolences to Don's family...He was a good man!

So sorry for your loss...Mr Hatch was my Junior High Principal, and a neighbor as I grew up on South Maple Street...may he eternally be at peace.

Bill Tom, Mike, Jeff and families,

So sorry to hear about your Dad. He was a wonderful man and I really enjoyed having him as one of my Uncles. I have many great memories of spending time at the Hatch's, as well as family reunions. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Thank you, Uncle Don, for being the family "camera man" and sharing so many great memories. You have done so much for others overs the years, now it's your time.

P.S. Don't forget your camera....

What a great life he had! I will throw good vibes out there when I walk past the Navy Yard in Brooklyn. Sorry for your loss, Mike.

Mike
So sorry for your loss. He was surrounded by a wonderful family. How lucky you all were.
