Richard Bates Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 28, 2019.
Richard S. Bates left this life to be with Jesus on October 27, 2019. He was born on February 26, 1927 in Quincy, MA and served aboard the submarine USS Roncador during WWII. Dick was passionate about his family and a faithful friend to many. His exceptional woodworking skills provided beautiful furniture pieces which were always given away. He will be deeply missed by his son David Bates(Lynne) in Pensacola, daughter Nancy Kingsbury from Hope, Maine, brother Ed Bates of Weymouth, MA, 7 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. A private memorial service is planned.

Nancy & David, so sorry to see that you lost your Dad at the end of October....
When I did not hear from him at Christmas ( his was always one of the first cards I received each year ) - I googled his name and found his obituary
He was always, so good about staying in touch with my Dad , your Uncle Paul and after he passed in 2001 - he stayed in touch with me....
I hope now that he is gone the two of you will stay in touch with me
Cousin Abby
