Arthur William Hatterick

Arthur William "Dutch� Hatterick, Jr., 81, passed peacefully from this life February 17, 2017. A Cynthiana native born May 25, 1935, he was the son of the late Arthur William and Alice Coppage Hatterick. He was preceded in death by his wife of 56 years, Ann Rhody Hatterick. He is survived by his daughter, Alice Reneé "Reni� Hatterick (Keith) Krey, two cherished grandsons, John Christian (Natalie) Moore of Lexington and James Daniel (Chrissy) Moore of Midway, and eight precious great grandchildren. He also leaves behind brothers-in-law Ronald E. (Patsy) Rhody, Pinehurst, NC; and Donald N. (Nancy) Rhody, Frankfort; several nieces and nephews; Lynnie Marcum Allen and her sons, Andrew and Jacob Cunningham. Dutch graduated from Cynthiana High School and attended the University of Kentucky where he was a member of the Sigma Nu Fraternity. One of his proudest achievements was attaining the rank of Eagle Scout in 1953. A distinguished career in public service began in the Department of Transportation as the Director of Human Resources. Through several administrations, he served as Deputy Commissioner of the Kentucky Department of Personnel. Later, he was appointed the first Executive Director of the Kentucky Personnel Board. He also served as President, and later Chairman of the Board, of the Commonwealth Credit Union. He was a member of South Frankfort Presbyterian Church for over 50 years, and was active in philanthropic endeavors and civic organizations, including the Lions Club, Civitan International, and the Blue Cross-Blue Shield Board of Directors. While his career and civic accomplishments were prolific, he was most proud of his grandsons and eight great-grandchildren. He was a solid, steadfast, and supportive husband, father, grandfather and friend. Although reserved and often stoic, he was one on whom all could always depend. At the end of his life, he was lovingly cared for by his Hospice Team and the nursing staff of Bradford Square Nursing Home. A Celebration of Life will be held at Harrod Brothers Funeral Home, 312 Washington Street, on Tuesday, February 21, 2017 at 10:30 a.m. with Rev. Todd Lester officiating.
