Charlie Hatch (Passed away 22 Aug 2025)

Such a wonderful friend 💙 we and everyone will miss you so much x sending all our love to Rose and all the family 😘

Sorry for your loss Rose and condolences to the whole family. Anne x

My condolences to Emma,Lisa and Rose and the rest of the family at this sad time but we will ALWAYS remember Charlie with a smile.a true Legend taken too soon.

Charlie, you were the dad I didn’t have by blood,
the steady laugh, the steady shoulder, the solid good.
You listened to me — even when I sang you to sleep
on teenage drunken nights — and somehow loved me anyway.

You took it all in stride: Emma and I embarrassing you
on your favourite green, winking like we owned the place. 😉
You bought my first pram for my first baby — who could forget —
little things that felt like huge acts of love.

We talked until neither of us got a word in edgeways, 🤪
swapping stories, finishing each other’s sentences,
always two halves of the same ridiculous conversation.
You were there when I needed to cry, to rant, to be heard —
never too busy, never pretending to be anything other than true.

My children adored you, just as I always did.
There will only ever be one Charlie — a true legend —
the sort of man who’d do anything for you, no questions asked.
You loved your girls and helped raise them with tough honest hearts;
I was lucky to be a part of that life, that family, that home.

I still can’t believe you’re gone — we didn’t say goodbye,
we didn’t talk this through. You told me you’d be around till ninety-seven;
I believed you would. I still half expect your voice, your grin,
the easy way you made a hard day feel softer.

So here’s to you — to the small, perfect memories:
the pram, the laughs on the green, the late-night songs,
the endless listening, the quiet steady love.
I’ll carry you forward in every silly story and every honest tear.

Sending our condolences to The Hatch family, during this difficult time. From all at Roxby Training Solutions!
