It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of Felix Sidney Hatcher (Sid) on August 1st, 2025.

Brother Cyril (Bernice) and sister Diane (Greg), brothers-in-law Tommy, David, Berkeley and Robert Wall. Sisters-in-law Carole and Evelyn as well and nine grandchildren, twenty-one great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. Sid also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, his best friend Ken who was his right-hand man and his ex-wife Carol MacLeod.
