James Hatch Obituary
Throughout his life, James cherished time spent outdoors, especially fishing in local ponds and streams with his children and grandchildren. His passion for scratch-off tickets, making apple cider, and maple syrup brought joy not only to him but also to those around him. James also enjoyed working on home renovations and gathering around campfires, creating lasting memories with his loved ones.
In his younger years, James loved to dance with his wife, a hobby that filled their early years together with laughter and joy. His family will remember him as a loving family man whose legacy of love and care will live on through the many fond memories they shared.
James is survived by his wife, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, brother, sister-in-law, nieces, and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers, sisters, and some nieces and nephew.
There will be no funeral services. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in honor of James J. Hatch to Evergreen Cemetery in Spencer, NY, to help maintain the grounds.

To my Dad,
I couldn´t be a more proud daughter to say " that´s my Dad" you made our lives full of fun and taught us a lot of the finer things in life, how to love, how to help others, to share, to be kind, to be our best even though I didn´t always be my best! I still heard your voice in my head and you stood by all of us through our mistakes me made along the way.
Thank you for being the loving man to all of us and sticking with us through it all!!!!
I miss you already and hope that the pain eases with time!!! Rest in peace Dad!!! I love you always and forever and I´ll see you in heaven.
Yours truly and with all the love,
Sherry

So very sorry to hear of Mr. Hatch's passing. He was a constant at every SVEYA PeeWee football game our son played in. His never ending support of his grandsons that played was so evident. We fondly remember him bringing crockpots of hot dogs and rolls to away games to feed "the boys". Such a very kind man. Our thoughts and sympathies to his family.

My Dad was the best Dad anyone could have. He was a loving, caring man. I remember one Christmas morning, he carried all 5 of us kids down the stairs. I don´t know how he did, cause he wasn´t a big man. I´m going to miss him everyday. But I have lots of memories with him. I love you Dad(Pooper Scooper)
