It is with sadness that I write to notify the campus community of the passing of former Director of Physical Plant, Bruce Ackley Hatch. Bruce passed away on November 1, 2024, in Shinglehouse, PA at his beloved hunting camp, at the age of 79.
Bruce worked at the College for over 14 years before departing in January of 2002. He was a stellar manager who was responsible for overseeing significant growth of the College’s facilities during his time. He was well respected and liked by those who worked with him, as well as those who worked for him. His commitment to excellence, as well as those on his team, was characterized by the work that he did.
It is my hope that you will keep his wife Lynnette, as well as the entire Hatch family, in your thoughts during this difficult time. A full obituary can be found at www.letromcintoshspinkfuneralhome.com/obituaries/bruce-hatch
