William Bathgate

So sorry to learn of Bill´s passing. We worked together at the former GTE location in Camillus, NY. When the Data Center relocated to Tampa, FL Bill transferred but I stayed. I last saw Bill at the annual Steak Roast and he looked great but lost contact after that. Stay strong like Bill would want you to.

Jeanette, so sorry to hear about Bill. We lost touch after you moved from down the street, so this is very sad to hear. Had many great memories and laughs with Bill from Camillus, to Tampa, to DR Exercises! I hope you have had some great years together, since we last saw you! Hugs and prayers out to you!

Just learned of the passing ! I worked for many years with WJB23 in the IT Dept of GTE in Camillus, saw him several times at GTE Reunions after the facility closed, and am saddened by his passing. Loved the venison stew he cooked up in a crockpot at work as part of our annual Lumberjack's Day party at Christmastime. My sincere condolences to Nettie and the boys.

I just found a picture from the GTE Corporate Challenge from 1985.

Nettie, I am sorry to hear about Bill. He did have a great life and he made life at GTE much more ... interesting. Sorry, though, I still can't get into calling you fats. (He's a silly boy!)

Nettie I am so sorry to hear about Bill's passing. He was the best friend I had at GTE. I met him in 1968 and he was a great friend for all that time
