ROBERT BATINOVICH

Dearest Bob, if I never stopped to say "I love you" then I was entirely remiss . You have been such a unique friend and you brought enchantment to some degree whenever I was in your presence. You were naturally gifted in so many areas of life and you didn't spare anything as you infused your ideas with reality. I admire you perhaps because you usually chose laughter....no matter how difficult the situation. Thank you for reminding me how important our Catholic faith was to our long-term...

I worked for Robert in the late 90’s. First in San Diego at Shadowridge Woodbend then at the Overlook in Scottsdale AZ. He made work so much fun. I remember him asking me if I liked the term “corporate office” and when I told him no, he asked, “what about “home office” and I said that just sounded better. He said from here on out that was the term we’d use. I also remember him coming to Arizona and I was asked to pick him up at the airport so we could look at some properties there. I got...

Through a series of recent coincidences, I just learned of Bat's passing.
My deepest and profound condolences to Bat's family, friends and anyone fortunate enough to have known him.
His life story was just as amazing as he was.

I was just looking through some of my old photos from the time I was a chef on a yacht in Monaco when Bat chartered the boat for three weeks back in 1997. We had a fantastic time while he was on board and although I was working as part of the crew Bat made sure that we enjoyed the time as much as he and his guests.
I looked him up on google out of curiosity and I'm so sorry to hear that he has passed away.
I still tell people a very funny story that he told us from his days on the tuna...

Wow - I was perusing the internet and just came across the notice of Bat's passing. I worked for Glenborough for ten years and left to move to Portland, Oregon. The time I spent working for Glenborough was transformative for me. Bat taught me a great deal about responsible leadership and how to care for employees in the time I worked there. His charismatic presence was remarkable. My deepest condolences to Andy and Angela - you are his gift to the world. Live well.

Dear Mr.B., you always will be in my thoughts and memories. I was very lucky person because I have had opportunity to meet you since you are one of a kind. You have come in my life when it was difficult but you have made many things possible and unforgettable (some kid from Croatia to meet president Clinton?! Yes it's me!).I am inspired by you for good actions and once you have told me that I never should forget where I am coming from – I promise I will not! My condolences to Andy, Angela and...

We have enjoyed being at many of your lawn parties where you included us along with your other neighbors. Many thanks over all these years to you and your family for delighting us with your beautiful tree lights over the holidays. For these and many more reasons you will be missed by all of us on Roehampton Road.

Fondly I remember and will never forget the adventure working for Glenborough and later being offered (on my birthday) the opportunity of a lifetime as Bat's personal assistant so many years ago. The most charming, charismatic and professional businessman I've ever known who silenced a room when he entered, all eyes on him. Thanks for the memories Bat, I'll never forget you. Rest in Peace kind gentleman.
May comforting angels be with the Batinovich family.

Deborah (Debby)...

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
