David J. Bates

I am saddened to hear that David has passed - He truly was one of the kindest men I have met! Whenever he came into the Cancer Center he was a light, ALWAYS smiling and oh so kind. He made people smile with his manner and I was touched by his attitude towards life in his struggle. I was at the front desk of CC, right as you entered the atrium & saw 1st hand how he did not let his disability or sickness steal his kindness, what a testimony! He will be with all of you in spirit as you share...

I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. Please find peace and comfort in Psalms 119:76.

Dear Kari,I was so sorry to read in this morning's paper that your Dad has passed away. Although we never met, I imagine he was quite a guy judging by what a wonderful daughter he raised. Please accept my most sincere condolences and best of luck to you and your entire family going forward.Sinerely,Al Glass

A beautiful tribute to an accomplished and caring man. My thoughts and prayers go out to my cousins, David's daughter, family and friends. Rest in peace Dave.

David was my cousin. He embraced his life with determination. Not letting his inability to see stop him from pursuing what life had to offer. You took on the challenge and succeeded. Bravo! Rest in peace David.
