Hatch, age 69, of Yankton, South Dakota, died peacefully after a long battle with cancer, on Tuesday, March 1, 2016, at Avera Sacred Heart Hospice in Yankton. Memorial services will be held at 2 pm, on Saturday, March 5, 2016, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Yankton. Burial with military honors will be in the Union Cemetery in Wakonda at a later date. The family will receive friends and family from 5 to 8 pm, on Friday, March 4 at the Wintz & Ray Funeral Home in Yankton, with a prayer service at 7 pm. Ronald Warren Hatch was born May 3, 1946, in Vermillion, South Dakota, to Warren and DeLores (Swanson) Hatch. He spent his early childhood in Wakonda, and then moved with his family to Willmar, MN, when he was in the 6th grade. The family then moved to St. Paul and finally to Bloomington, MN. Ron graduated from Bloomington High School in 1964 and went on to attend the University of Minnesota, graduating with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. After college, Ron joined the United States Navy and was stationed in Corpus Christi, TX. He became a naval aviator, receiving his Wings of Gold on March 5, 1970. Ron then served as a flight instructor until his honorable discharge. In 1974, he moved to Yankton and joined the family business at Hatch Furniture. Ron was instrumental in starting Furniture First, an association of independent furniture dealers, and served as president for many years. On any given day at Hatch's, you could find him visiting with customers, loading furniture, and building displays. Whatever needed to be done, Ron happily did so with tremendous energy, craft, and skill. In 1995, Ron met the love of his life, Sheane, and on December 2, 1995, they were married. Together, they loved to travel, golf, fish, and boat. Summers were their favorite time, when they would head out to Dock H, grill and share communal meals, and laugh, laugh, and laugh some more with their beloved boating friends. Captain Ron was the quintessential boating neighbor, always willing to bait a line for a youngster, refill a drink, or fix an engine in need of repair. Every friend of Ron's has a story-whether he was Crazy Legs on the dance floor, leg wrestler at Hillcrest, or Spiderman on the dock. Ron, forever a kid, showed us all how to live in the moment, to laugh, and to love. More than anything, Ron cherished time with family. He was a dear son to De and Warren and spent many evenings cooking together and sharing stories. He had a soft spot for his mom and with a sparkle in his eye, loved to tease her. Ron, too, relished his title of Papa, and his endurance for giving horsey rides, playing hide-and-seek, and attending dance recitals was impressive. Papa Ron was the one to ask when you needed to know what caused a tsunami or what the heck the Pythagorean Theorem was and how it related to real life. Papa knew most anything, and what answer he didn't know, he sought out. He spent free time reading, solving puzzles, and breezing through Mensa's version of Sudoku. When Ron wasn't working at the store or spending time with family and friends, he was helping out in his community. Ron was active in many organizations, serving as president of the Chamber of Commerce, a board member of the United Way, and a member of Sertoma Club and Big Friend-Little Friend. He was an active member of Trinity Lutheran Church and taught confirmation classes for a number of years. Just as Ron cared deeply for his family and friends, he cared deeply for his fellow citizen. In his final months and days, Ron would say, "I've lived a good life." No statement could be truer, and because of him, all of our lives are better. Ron is survived by his wife, Sheane Hatch of Yankton; four children: Jonathan Hatch (Melissa Cuka) of Yankton, Justin Becker of Sioux Falls, Carissa (Shaun) Finn of Chicago, and Paul Becker of New York; seven grandchildren: Ashley Hatch, Alexandra Hatch, Adilyn Becker, Hudson Finn, Sheane Finn, Abigail Cuka and Alex Cuka; and his beloved mother, DeLores Hatch of Yankton. Ron is preceded in death by his father, Warren Hatch; son, Alex Hatch; and two sisters, Karen and Connie Hatch.
