My thoughts and prayers go out to the Bateman family.. I remember all the times seeing him at my Dad's house and working in the garden. I guess dad an him are in heaven talking about when to plant those tomatoes and about fishing.. Charlie will be missed. Keep your memories close and they will ease the sorrow.

Bateman family & friends,
Our boys will miss visiting Charlie & getting cookies!
He always had fishing & gardening advice & wisdom to share. This is what we will remember everyday and carry on the traditions he taught.
It is comforting to know that he is healthy again & no longer suffering.
He will be missed.
