Arrangements are being cared for by Dutcher Funeral Home in Coldwater. Interment of ashes will be at Oak Grove Cemetery. Ray was born April 22, 1923 in Grover Hill, Ohio to Carl and Ruth (Prior) Pitts. He married Ruth E. Gallaway on May 28, 1952 in Hillsdale. Mr. Pitts graduated from Hillsdale High School and served in the Army Air Corp. He worked as the Circulation Manager at the Hillsdale Daily News for a few years. In 1958, he became the Branch Manager for the Triple A offices in Coldwater and Hillsdale, until his retirement in 1983. Ray worked closely with the Michigan Dept. of Transportation, traffic safety and was instrumental in the enforcement of seatbelt and motorcycle helmet usage during his career. He was a member of the Coldwater United Methodist Church and a former member of the Noon Rotary. Ray was active with the Branch County United Way and the former “Bon Ami” social club. Mr. Pitts was very proud of and took much pride in being an original owner of a 1964 Thunderbird that he frequented the Friday Night Car Cruise with at the West Side Shell. He enjoyed riding and boarding Arabian Horses, which led to his international travels to Egypt and China to study the history and culture of the horses and the countries. Ray enjoyed the outdoors, landscaping and gardening and he also liked to read. Most of all he loved to spend time with his family, especially his grandchildren. Ray was preceded in death by his son Steven Pitts in 2003 and his sister Dorothy Ziegler. He is survived by his wife Ruth, his daughters Jane and Ronald Smith of Freesoil and Joan and Richard Sherman of Coldwater, grandchildren Michelle and Andy DeWitt of Lowell, Eric Sherman, Christopher Sherman, Karlen Pitts and Kasey Pitts, all of Coldwater and great grandchildren Easton and Payton DeWitt and Allison Sherman.

William 'Billy' Robert Hatchett, Jr.

Wednesday, January 13, 2010 10:00 AM - GateHouse Media, Inc. 

William “Billy” Robert  Hatchett, Jr., age 39, of Lowell, formerly of Tecumseh, passed away unexpectedly early morning Jan. 10, 2010, as a result of a snowmobile accident. Billy was born May 16, 1970, in Brunswick, Maine. He was the cherished and devoted son of William and Rose Anne (Hickey) Hatchett.  In July 2005, he married Katie Hawk. He was a 1988 graduate of Tecumseh High School and completed two years of college. He was a licensed and talented carpenter who loved the planning, creativity and design of his work.  In his words, “being a builder offers a creative release that I crave.” To quote a friend, “Bill Hatchett will work till he bleeds and then work some more.” Many people have experienced his generosity and compassion. Billy’s friends are numerous and lifelong — his commitment to family and friends was boundless. He lived life with enthusiasm and his passions were many: family, friends, music, dancing, Newfoundland heritage, boating, snowmobiling, animals, Michigan football and most of all he treasured his Mom. Besides his wife, Katie, he is survived by his mother, Rose Anne Hatchett; sisters, Jani (Matt) Cooke and their children, Lincoln, Keenan and Piper Rose; Amy (John) Rotche and their children, Payton and Quinn; many aunts, uncles and numerous cousins. Each cousin had a special place in his heart. Also surviving are his father- and mother-in-law, Denny and Linda Hawk; sister-in-law, Kirsten (Matt) Lahti and their daughter, Sienna; brother-in-law, Dusty (Marianne) Hawk and their sons, Dethan and Eli. His absence will be immensely felt by his nieces and nephews.  Billy has joined his father, William Robert Hatchett, Sr., in God’s arms. We ask God to send his angels to happily take him into eternity. Billy’s presence in this world will be deeply missed. A Memorial Mass will be held 11 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 16, 2010, at St. Elizabeth Catholic Church, Tecumseh, with Fr. Daniel Wheeler officiating. A Vigil Prayer service will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 15, 2010, at St. Elizabeth Catholic Church, 506 N. Union St., Tecumseh. Services will also be held in Lowell at 1 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 14, with the Rev. Dean Bailey officiating. Visitation will be 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. today, Jan. 13, at the Roth-Gerst Funeral Home, 305 N. Hudson St., Lowell. Condolences to the family may be made at www.pursefuneralhome.com.
