I have very fond memories with the Bates family. I learned, coached, and played hockey with Mr. Bates. Always enjoyed his warm and caring voice in any topics we shared! God Bless you Mr. Bates...

Always looked forward to working with Billy whether it was a gig or just "sitting in"- his kindness, enthusiasm and joy were always front and center. You were a pleasure to be around Bill.
