Kenneth A. Hatch
January 12, 1942 – July 2, 2021
Kenneth A. Hatch, 79, Altoona, died Friday at UPMC Altoona after an extended illness.
Ken was born in Altoona, the beloved son of Beverly George and Erma Grace (McAteer) Hatch. On December 28, 1963, he married Judy Georgiana. They were married 57 ½ years and shared 61 years of love and friendship.
He is survived by his wife, Judy; a devoted son Kenneth A. "Buddy" Hatch II; his "Daddy's girl" Kelly Sutt and her husband and Ken's loving son-in-law, Larry; three grandchildren and the light of his life: Adam, Hayley and Alina Sutt. He was raised in a tight-knit family of eighteen children and is survived by two brothers and four sisters: Dick (Emilie), Rose Everhart (Bob), Tim (Debbie), Kathy Lechner (George, deceased), Connie Cook (Doug), Mary Jane Mincin (Jim); brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law: Anna Mae Hatch, Joe and Paula Georgiana and Denny and Patty Georgiana.

He retired from Penn Dot after 30 years as the purchasing agent and was a member of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church.
Ken was a man of great presence who enjoyed the simple things in life. Getting up every day and taking care of his home and family was what made him happy. He will never be forgotten and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
