OBITUARY
Richard John Hatton was born November 2,1967, in Plymouth, England to Terence John and Lorraine Hatton, the first of two children. After graduating from McCullough High School in 1986, Richard attended the University of Dallas earning a degree in Economics. With his Economic degree, he pursued a successful career in international shipping which allowed him to retire a few years ago. Richard was a devoted Liverpool supporter and avid football fan which caused a wee bit of contention between him and his father, who is a West Ham follower. He enjoyed his daily walks, a good game of chess (that he would always win!), playing the stock market, and spending time with his family and friends. Our beloved Richard will continue to live on in the hearts of his daughter, Giannia Hatton, of San Diego, California, his parents, Terry and Lorraine Hatton of Charleston, SC, sister Louise Hatton-Conway, also of Charleston, SC, nieces Emily Conway of York, ME, Molly Conway of Holly Hill, SC and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, John and Joyce Hatton and Fernley and Margret Whitford. He was adored by so many people, family and friends. Richard, you will be deeply missed but never forgotten. A memorial celebration of his life will be held on Sunday, July 14, 2024 at Midtown Funeral Home and Cremation Options, 3918 W. Irving Park Road, Chicago. The gathering will begin at 12noon followed by the service at 1:00pm. Arrangements by Midtown Funeral Home and Cremation Options, 773.654.3744, www.midtownfunerals.com
