My Heart goes out to Mrs. Batte, John and Anne and of course Mr. Battes siblings. I only wish that every person walking this earth could have a mere portion of the goodness Mr. Batte possessed because this world would be an extra special place. Mr. Batte, I will miss you Sir. I have come to know so much from having the pleasure of speaking to you from time to time. You will be in my mind and in my heart forever. You truly made me a better person and I thank you. GOD BLESS YOU SIR. Keith Burton, N.W.S.F

Mr. Batte was the first person who believed in me and helped me to feel confident about my abilities. I would not be where I am today if it were not for Mr. & Mrs. Batte. I have thought of them often throughout the years, my deepest sympothy goes out to Mrs. Batte. I loved you both with all of my heart. I wish I could've been at the funeral, but I just found out about Mr. Batte's passing today.

Mr. Batte was the most amazing man I have ever met. He was always warm and kind hearted and willing to help with anything. He not only was a boss but was more like a grandfather than anything else. I will truly miss him and am so saddened that my son will never fully know such a great individual.
