He was born Dec. 21, 1932 to Edwin and Mabel Hatcher who preceded him in death. > Hatcher was a graduate of N.C. State University and the UNC School of Dentistry. Two years were spent serving in the Army Dental Core, after which he thoroughly enjoyed practicing dentistry in Cary for 35 years. He often said there was never a day that he dreaded going to work. He loved his patients and they returned this love in full measure. > > Hatcher had a deep and unshakable faith in his Lord and savior, Jesus Christ. He had a kind, gentle, humble spirit, but was a man of incredible strength. His steadfast faith in God and his positive, optimistic spirit were an inspiration to his family and friends. He was a faithful member of Good Hope Baptist Church where he served his savior in many capacities throughout his life. There was a special place in his heart for the "Men's Fellowship Sunday School Class" and the "Above and Beyond Men's Group." > > Life to him was truly an adventure meant to be lived each day to its fullest. He had a keen appreciation of nature and the beauty of God's creation.
