At his 2019 retirement, Hatch had 'passed more legislation into law than any other Senator alive,' the Hatch Foundation said.
."He exemplified a generation of lawmakers brought up on the principles of comity and compromise, and he embodied those principles better than anyone. In a nation divided, Orrin Hatch helped show us a better way by forging meaningful friendships on both sides of the aisle. Today, more than ever, we would do well to follow his example. May we honor Orrin's memory by living as he lived—committed to our country, to our principles, and to each other.
With the nickname"Mr. Balanced Budget" from President Ronald Reagan, his priorities included"pro-growth tax reform, opening up foreign markets to American exports, and entitlement reform to ensure the long-term sustainability of Social Security and Medicare," the foundation said. When he was 10, his older brother, Jesse Hatch, was killed in action during World War II in Europe, an event that"deeply impacted" his life.
Hatch married Elaine Hansen in the Salt Lake Temple upon his return from the mission. He earned a bachelor's degree in history from BYU and a law degree from the University of Pittsburgh Law School, where he attended on a full honors scholarship and graduated with honors in 1962.
