Peter L. Batula

Dear Jan and Family: I am so sorry for your loss. Be assured of my thoughts and prayers at this time. Peter was a great person, mentor and State Representative for Merrimack. He was my go-to person as a newly elected State Rep. And, who could forget his pickle pins on the campaign trail? Rest In Peace, Rep. Batula. Thank you for your service to Merrimack and the people of New Hampshire! -Hon. Maureen Mooney, Merrimack, NH

Dear Jan, (the lovely Mrs. B) I was very sad to learn of the passing of your beloved husband, Peter. He was such a gentleman to all. Peter enjoyed working with my 4th grade Reeds Ferry School students in the classroom to teach them the importance of voting and how laws are passed. He would then greet us on the day of our field trip to the Concord State House. As a fun bonus, he would always give each kiddo a pickle pin! I do remember our fun times working together at St. James Preschool...

Jeff so sorry for your loss. Sincere sympathy to your entire family.

It is an honor to call you Dad. My rock, my guide, my mentor. There was so much pleasure in pleasing you. I know that you are in heaven as your faith was your guide. You are free from the hideous disease that claimed you and that will be our comfort in the future. May you Rest In Peace......Until we meet again. Xoxo

God Bless you all for your comments. I am beyond honored to call him my Father, and will do everything within my power to carry on his amazing legacy...But that will be tough! One amazing man. God Bless you Dad. I will think of you and praise you every day for the rest of my life. Thank you for an amazing journey.

I had the honor of being Pete's pastor for several years here in Pennsylvania, until he and Janice moved back to New Hampshire. I loved our time together. He was a kind and gentle soul and we hit it off from day one. He was firm and strong in his faith of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and as Peter says in 1 Peter 3:15...Our Pete was solid in the fundamentals of the faith: "always be ready to give the reason for the hope that you have, but do this with gentleness and respect." His hope was...

I went to high school with Pete. Such a nice guy. My condolences to his family. Nancy Metzger Gasparovic

Uncle Pete has been among my most influential role models while growing up. In the company of his brothers and sisters, portrayed a strength of family unity that is strong in me today. His view of life, faith and in the way he lived, I know is strong in his immediate family. My heart and prayers are with my NH kin.

I can honestly say I am so lucky to have had Mr. Pete picked me to be his Barber, here in New England School of barbering. Many times Pete walked right in the barbershop and sat in the chair and told me to cut his hair. Hahaha!!! and I loved it every time.

Mr.Pete, I will miss you. Rest in Peace, my friend, and don't you worry, the angels with be watching over your lovely family. God Bless all you guys.
