CHARLES NOBLE JR. HATCH

Charles Noble Hatch, Jr. The name itself stands alone as a legend and a legacy 
of one of the greatest men ever to those that knew him. Noble had a larger than 
life personality during his 69 years here on earth. There was never a stranger 
that crossed his path. He knew and loved everyone and everyone that knew him 
loved him.

Noble was born on May 1, 1945 as the only son of Charles Noble Hatch, Sr. and 
Jessie McClain Hatch. He grew up in southern Richland Parish in Charlieville, LA 
on Hatch Bend by Bouef River. He left this earth for his eternal home on May 6, 
2014. He was preceded in his journey by his parents and daughter Gayle Lane 
"Laney" Hatch. He is survived by his wife of 18 years, Marilyn Vining Hatch; 
former wife and the mother of his children, Camille Hatch; their daughter Sammi 
Smith & husband Tim; and their son Charles Noble Hatch, III & companion Becca 
Steed; Marilyn's children: daughter Paula Whitten; daughter Sandy Wilson & 
companion Harvey Marcus; son David Wilson. He had 12 grandchildren: Jessica 
Dorais, Julie French; Justin, Robert, and Taylor Bryan; Stevi Hatch; Grace 
Smith; Lacie Carter; Blake & Logan Aaron; Dylan & Natalie Wilson. He is also 
survived by 8 great grandchildren, several cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Noble's unspoken motto in life was, "Go Big or Go Home!" This was evident in all 
he said and did. He loved to cook for the masses at the ULM Grove, OPHS 
reunions, Ducks Unlimited banquets, family gatherings, annual Denmon Engineering 
crawfish boils, or whatever occasion arose. He loved to fish, travel the country 
and dance. He would often set up his camper in several different exotic 
locations with Marilyn and his buddy Mike Bonnette. He and Marilyn especially 
loved to travel to Sulfur every year for the La High School Girls' Softball 
State Championship Tournament. As a great storyteller, he shared many of his 
stories on Wednesday afternoons at the Round Table with lifelong friends Sal 
Petito, Ginny Ott, Mollie May Harrel, Joe & Nancy Mulhearn, Lisa Evans, Jean 
Cotton, Jack & Nell Plummer, Gail & David Hall, Big Ike & Maureen McMullen, and 
Gurvis Hall. Noble loved his family most of all. He taught his boys how to be 
strong men and live with honor, integrity and respect. He always had a soft spot 
for all his girls, including his canine girls, Fe Fe and Frauline.

Noble also loved his country. He served in Vietnam in 1967-1968 as an E-5 
sergeant in Alpha Company, 65th Combat Engineering of the 25th Infantry 
Division. He had a lifelong dream of one day reuniting with his military 
buddies. Now he has been eternally reunited with so many of them that served and 
fought for our freedom.

When he returned from Vietnam, he served on the Monroe Police Dept. as an 
officer and detective. He then worked for Smith & Sanders as a land surveyor 
before landing his dream job as a land surveyor at Denmon Engineering. He spent 
the last 37 years of his life faithfully devoted to his friend Terry Denmon and 
his family at Denmon Engineering.

Over these past 4 months, Noble endured the challenges of end stage COPD. In the 
end, he won, for he is eternally healed. Our family will be forever grateful for 
the angels of mercy at St Francis who ushered him into the presence of Christ 
with mercy, dignity, and grace: Dr John Bruchhaus, Dr Richard Fincher; Dr Jimmy 
Smith and colleagues, the nursing staff of St Francis Medical center ER, SICU, 
MICU, 7th floor, and 5th floor. We would also like to thank his healthcare 
providers Dr William Smith and Terry Dees NP, Dr Greg Sampognaro and Bo Ryals 
NP, and Dr Antii Maran.

The family requests that you join them to celebrate the life of Charles Noble 
Hatch, Jr. Memorial services will be Saturday, May 10, 2014 at 12 PM at Mulhearn 
Funeral Home, Sterlington Rd., Monroe. Visitation will be from 10 AM until 
service time Saturday at the funeral home.

In lieu of flowers, Noble and the family request that donations be made to St 
Jude Children's Home in Memphis, TN.
