TIMOTHY LEE BATES

Hi, Dad. Its been awhile. I'm not quite sure where time has gone. This life seems to fly at the speed of light since the day you left. So much has happened that you should have been here to see. So many things I wanted you to be a part of. I miss you dad, so much. There isn't a day that goes by that we don't speak of you. I feel your presence so strongly. At times, I feel you standing right beside me. Hang in there, Dad. We will all be together again someday. I LOVE YOU...

Its been almost 5 years since you left us. Your memory never fades, Dad. I miss you more and more every day. I hope you and Papa are resting in eternal peace. I have kept all my promises I made to you that night and I hope that makes you proud..

Love forever and ever, Poohbear

I miss you every second of every day. Id give anything to hear your voice one last time. I love you, Dad.
Love,poohbear

To the family of Mr. Bates, may you find comfort and hope in the God of all comfort during this difficult time. Please keep your heart focused on the time when death will be brought to nothing. 1 Cor.15:26

Tim was our friend and next door neighbor. We knew Tim to be a caring and compassionate man who loved life, his wife Kathy, his family and his beloved dog Wheatie. Tim was more than a neighbor he was our friend and Brad enjoyed traveling to the Philippines with Tim. Tim made friends easily and always had something nice to say about anything that was discussed. He was a very positive man who we will miss dearly. It was once said that "You make a living by what you get but you make a life...

So sorry to hear of his passing. I have fond memories of Tim and his family.

As you grieve know that we are remembering you and honoring the memory of Tim. So very sorry.

My heart is broken once again, Tim I Love you. I know your home and resting in the arms of our Lord Jesus Christ. I'm sure you and Robert are standing at the alter of the Lord once again, I have two angels in my corner. God Bless Kathy and the family your all in my thoughts and prayers. MY BEST MAN. You'll be missed. my deepest sympathy.
