Scott BATES Obituary
BATES, Scott David
Scott David Bates, April 1, 1971 to June 8, 2012, Scott was taken from his family and friends by a work related accident at Canam Inc. in Claremont, NH. Scott worked for the company for approximately 5 years and he loved his job. His coworkers, friends and family, and anyone that came in contact with Scott are devastated beyond words. He had a very special personality that no one could possibly forget and he loved life. He was a devoted, loving husband and father that will be in our hearts forever. Scott was in the Navy during the Gulf war and was glad that he could help fight for his country. Scott met his wife Kelly, his lifelong sole mate, and his stepson, Troy Curtis Wainscott 13 years ago and fell in love for life. Scott and Kelly were married on July 30, 2005 in Claremont, NH. In 2006, they had their daughter, Skye Haley Bates, now six years of age. Scott spent most of his spare time with his daughter any many other children in the community playing at the park, skating at the Junior Sports League, Swimming, or just staying home with his baby girl playing Barbie's or dress up. He was dedicated to his wife and family, he loved spending time at the ocean and camping with family and friends. And boy did he love to dance and always have fun. Scott left behind his wife Kelly, his daughter Skye, his stepson Troy, His loving mother, Rosela Goulet, of Southington CT, His father, His loving sister Tracie Waluk, his nephew Frank Waluk III, of Bristol CT and so many other friends and family.
We will be having a Celebration of Scotts life on Saturday, June 23, 2012, 2 p.m. at Summerfields Restaurant at the Crown Point County Club on the Weathersfield Rd, Springfield, VT. We welcome all that would like to share their thoughts and feelings to speak. If you would like to send flowers or donations please send them to 27 Maple Ave. Claremont NH 03743.

Hi honey,I'm sorry I missed the 8th again this month, but I've been in turmoil again. I don't know if you remember my good friend Iva, but she moved to Portage, PA to be with her old friend, Pat because of the NO SMOKING policy now. But I got sad news that she had a bad flu bug, I think, and now things have gone worse for her, she's on life support and kidney dialysis, she's kind of a mess, so I been in kind of a mess this month too, I let the 8th slide by, I'm sorry. But I just want you to know I still love and miss you, love mom
P.S. This verse reminded me of you !
For You, Teresa

Hi honey,
I'm sorry I missed the 8th this month a good friend of mine lost her sister and things got a little hectic here.
Her sister had ovarian cancer and last Friday she went into surgery, it looked good through the weekend but yesterday she died from a blood clot straight to her heart. She posted this saying on Facebook the day before she died, I really believed she thought she made it thru the worst part. Unfortunately it wasn't to be. Here is what she posted
Still missing and loving you

Good Morning Scott!
Just got back from your home in Claremont. We had a little Celebration of Your Life 2 years later. Your friends showed up and we were all their for you. Kelly and your "Baby Girl' made a beautiful flower garden to place some of your ashes in and I put together all the videos and songs I've created over the last 2 years on DVD end it with "A Kiss Goodbye" from KISS, sorry I forgot to add some RUSH songs, but I did my best. Maybe in 2000 years, someone might dig there and find a little piece of "SCOTT" , his family and friends and know what a great guy you were and how much we loved you. I'm going to post some of these pictures here in your guest book for your friends to see. Love and miss you so much.
All my Love, mom

Good morning honey. April is not a good month for us. Your birthday and today being the 2nd year anniversary of you leaving us, I don't look forward to April at all. But we will get to see your baby girl on her birthday, she'll be 8 years old this month and I know she's missing her "Daddy" very much. I wish with all my heart you were here, I'll never get over knowing this is so wrong, what was God thinking, you should be here with your daughter. I can only hope your watching over her and taking care of her. Miss you so much, All my love.

She's a big girl now, but I'm sure she's missing her daddy too. I'll post the latest pick today. miss and love you so much,mom

Hi baby, I placed a music video on your Facebook page, that is so beautiful. She couldn't known my feelings even if she asked me personally, the girls that wrote this video have lost loved one's too and know the emptiness left behind. I thank them for writing this song. We love and miss you so much Scott. You a dearly missed every day. You will always be in my broken heart, always.

Hi baby, mommy is never going to stop missing you. God I miss those phone calss when we would talk for hours, especially if you were having problems with your computer, and how you wouldn't listen to me. If you would just listen and stop talking we could have fixed it in much less time. But I miss those calls so much. Missing you, with all my heart, mommy
