Born on November 2, 1929 to Gordon and Della (Hennessey) Hatch, George grew up in Westborough, Massachusetts, where he graduated from Westborough High School. He was a proud veteran of the Korean Conflict, where he served in the military police. After leaving the army, he was a long-time employee of Bay State Abrasives in Westborough, managing one of the Drafting Departments until he took early retirement. He continued his education over the years at Worcester Polytechnical Institute.
George was predeceased by his wife Virginia of nearly 60 years and his grandson Michael P. Bame. He leaves behind two children, Jeffrey G. Hatch and Catherine D. Bame.

During their life together George and Virginia were blessed to help raise their nephew Lorne C. Thayer.
George was a loving father and husband that fully supported his wife and children. He was integral to fulfilling Virginia’s desire for horses and was a gentleman farmer in Woodville, Massachusetts while also supporting his children’s endeavors, never missing their sporting events. He was a scout master for many years. Ultimately George and Virginia moved to Wells, Maine where he and Virginia spent the last years of their marriage gaining many new friends in the Wells and Ogunquit area.
