David S. "Lefty" Bates

We are very sorry for the loss of David Bates. He was a good man and he will be missed very much. He is in a better place with the Lord, and no more suffering. May God be with him forever.

To the Bates family,
our deepest condolences, he will be sadly missed.

My sincere condolences to the family. I always enjoyed Lefty's company and stories

Jeff, Jean and all Family members.
Our memories are jolted, when we hear of the passing of an old friend. Joe and I shared many a laugh with Lefty and saw first hand his carpentry skills.
The dinners and dancing at the Commercial Club and Lefty with his
boxer syle dancing are special memories in themselves.
He is in all of you and your children. God Bless, Gerry Kelley
