Ralph Eugene Hatcher

I had the absolute pleasure of getting to meet and take care of Doc Hatcher during a couple of hospital stays. He made such an impression on me and he will truly be missed! I loved hearing his stories, meet his wife and family, as well as his dog. He will always be one of my most favorite patients! I am very sorry for your loss! Rest Well Doc and thank you for great memories!!

I remember sitting next to Ralph in Sacred Heart elementary school. One day he was picked up from school by his older brother on a motorcycle. Ralph was so excited that when he jumped on the back of the seat he fell off and had to jump back on the cycle quickly because his brother yelled back to Ralph, "Hurry up, I ain't waitin' for ya!"

I was Dr. Hatcher's homecare PT after his heart transplant and I very much enjoyed working with him...HE taught ME a lot! He was a great man and I am thankful I had the opportunity to know him even just a short time. There has always been a special place in my heart for him. I know all of you will miss him terribly; my prayers are with you at this sad time. Mary Kay Macri

We are so sorry to hear of Dr. Hatcher's passing. While in Ursa, he was a wonderful pediatrician for our sons. One Saturday evening, we picked him up on the way to the office so he could stitch up a cut. He was missed when he left the area.

Ralph and Sue, you are wonderful examples of what strong families can accomplish.
Peace, Grace and Faith be with you all as you circle together to celebrate noble, strong, intelligent, generous , and jolly DOC. He will be greatly missed.
Love to all,
The Rohrer Family

So very sorry to learn of Ralph's passing. Although I only got to work with him for a short time at Butler before he retired, I admired him and his sense of humor, and thank his heart donor (and family) for giving him the gift of life a little bit longer .

Sue, We are so sorry to hear of Ralphs passing. Our family's grew up virtually next door to the Hatcher family in Springfield and have many fond memories of our childhood . I'm here to tell you our lives were in constant flux :) with seldom a dull moment in those days. Sue, you and your family have our deepest condolences and prayers.
You did well Dr. Ralph Hatcher!
