He was a dear friend to us, and "Grandpa Hatch" to our daughter from age 2 on up. His grace and generosity touched us all and we are greater for having known him. Love and condolences to Becky and all who loved him.

A.E. was a man of faith. His life was an example of what faith can be and mean. As a cousin by marriage, he was an important part of our lives. His good humor, his intelligence, and wisdom has been a model for us to emulate. We loved Al and Becky very much and they both remain in our prayers. Adios, A.E.

I have only met Mr. Hatch on a few occassions while visiting my parents, Bill and Wendy Pinkerton, across the street from him. On those occassions he was a very sweet and gentle man who loved God and was always so kind to my family and loved talking with my parents and niece Britney. He will be missed dearly and prayers for his wife and family. God Bless
