Andrew Bentham BATTEN

Hello. You probably won't know us but my name is Ann Dorval (formerly Ann Best) and my mum, Sheilagh Best, taught with Andrew's mother in Ottawa.

I went to elementary and high school with Andrew. My fondest memory of him was playing in the stage band with Mrs. Scott as our band teacher. I played trombone and I believe he played sax. (sorry if I am wrong). He had some wicked solos, I recall!

My mum has a fond memory. Our family went to his family's cottage once. She...

One of the best teachers I've ever had, still try to model my life after him

Debbie, may you draw strength from the beautiful memories you have share with Andrew. My sincere condolences. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers through this difficult time.

My heart goes out to you during this difficult time. May God strengthen you and help you endure.
