John Batista

I remember John´s arrival to Western Maryland College, he was by himself holding his suitcase and excited to begin his college years. He was so well liked in school and we maintained our friendship over the next 7 decades. Suzanne and I were roommates in college and we all shared many wonderful moments and memories together. Sending my condolences to the family as I know you are heartbroken too. I take comfort in knowing that John and Suzanne are together again. Betsy Rogan

So sad. He was always so caring. He always ask about my family. I had several of his Christmas cards but sadly I left them at Super Foods. Oh well lots of good memories. He for some reason, taught me how to spell tomorrow. He said, "Tom or row

John was the best boss that I ever had the privilege of working for at Super Foods for many, many years. We also were great friends during and after Super Foods. We always tried to keep in touch over the years and he was a wonderful person and friend who I will deeply miss, especially his yearly birthday cards and his beautiful pen and ink Christmas cards. I´m so very glad that I visited him last year in The Prison, as he called it, at this time while I was in Columbus. May he rest in peace...

I was John's secretary at Super Foods and I have very fond memories of what a kind and thoughtful man he was. I worked for several people at Super Foods but John was my favorite boss. I'm so sorry for your loss.
