Mrs Batten and Family -

I offer you my deepest condolence at Art's passing. We were great friends at St Mike's and comrades in arms. I haven't seen nor spoken to Art since graduation though I am sure we passed closely many times over our Air Force careers. I read about his death in the St Mike's magazine this week, and was deeply saddened.
Remember your times with Art and I am sure your pain will be eased.
I will keep Art, you, and your family in my prayers.

Ann Marie, Chris and Mark,
I'm so saddened by Art's passing. He was one of my closest friends at St. Michael's College and helped me greatly in my studies. I came to St. Michael's without a foreign language background and Art had the patience and knowledge helping in French for the two required years. We'd meet prior to class and my pal would go over my assignments correcting and instructing me.
Sophmore year, he was also helpful with biology. I can still remember when we had a...

To Ann Marie & Family,

Larry and I are very saddened by Art's passing. He will be sorely missed by the entire St. Mary's family. Please take comfort in your wonderful memories and rest assured that you are in our daily thoughts and prayers.

Dear Ann Marie and Family; We were so saddened to hear of Art's passing. We have such fond memories of our times together in Germany and the kindness you showed by attending our Swiss wedding. Boy, that WAS a long time ago! And of course we've appreciated the Christmas card updates over the years. May God give you joy in the memories and hope for the future. We pray for God's comforting presence at this sad time. Love,

I will always remember Arthur with a warm smile and a frienldy hello as he passed you in the halls of Goffstown High School. Rest In Peace Arthur. God's Blessings on his family and friends. GHS Class of '63

Dear Batten family; I just heard of Maj. Battens passing. I give him the salute he deserves and hope they play TAPs at his interment. Although I have not kept in touch with Art since high school, I have thought of him often. It is so sad to lose another class mate and Comrade in Arms. Who knows we may have even been stationed together in Thailand. God Bless and may Art Rest in peace. For his Last inspection Jesus will have him sit beside him, because Art has spent his time in Hell. ...

I have now just received word that Arthur as passed away.. How very sad. As a classmate at GHS I can remember just how diligent he was in his work studies. I was envious. He was quite the brilliant student, as I am sure he filled his entire life in the same direction. I had called him a few years ago about a class reunion and he was all for it. I am so deeply sorry it never came to fruition. But, yet if we have one, I shall make sure that he will be remember with honors. He was always a...

To the Batten Family:
Arthur & I sat next to each other throughout our childhood school years (due to the alphabet!) As our lives moved on, we lost touch. It is heartwarming to read here about his life continuing as it began as a kind, generous of spirit person leading an exemplary life in his community of friends and peers.
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. With love

Dear Batten family, As a childhood friend of Art's, I am saddened to hear of your loss. Among other fond memories, I remember our summertime visits as teens to the Puritan in Manchester where we would split an order of fried clams. It meant a lot to my mother, Lois, when you, Art and your twins would visit her when you were in Goffstown. My wife, Joan, joins me in sending our condolences.
