Hathaway
Richard Gardner Hathaway passed away at home peacefully with his family by his side, in Atlantic Beach, FL on December 13, 2020. He was 69 years old. Born in Richmond, VA, Rick was the son of Robert M. and Lelia G. Hathaway. He graduated from D.S. Freeman High School in 1969, and from The University of Virginia Law School in 1976. He moved to the Jacksonville area that year, later settling in the town of Atlantic Beach where his family still lives. From 1976 until his retirement in 2017, Rick practiced Law - first as an Associate, then Partner at Mcguire Woods LLC in Jacksonville. In 1993 he founded his own Real Estate Law Firm, Richard G. Hathaway PA, followed by Ponte Vedra Title LLC in 2000. He had a keen mind and an appetite for learning in many areas including helping others, charitable organizations, golf, oil painting, outdoor activities and traveled all over the world. Rick loved life and enjoyed nothing more than being surrounded by his friends and family. Rick is survived by his wife Pam; sons David (Katie) and Gardner; grandsons Cohen and Henry; one brother, Bobby of Reedville, VA; and two sisters, Diane Freeman of Ashland, VA, and Emily Hathaway (Steve) of Belchertown, MA.
The family will celebrate Rick's life with a private gathering next spring or when appropriate. Rick's family appreciates the tremendous outpouring of love and support received. He will be deeply missed.

So sorry to hear about Rick. We worked together in his early days of opening Ponte Vedra Title and still do business with this firm 20 years later. My sympathies to his family.
