So Sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. Batey, as I called him while growing up in Nashville was a great mentor at Easley Center. He was always there whenever I went there to to learn to play basketball, ping pong and pool. He was great to us as we were kids in the Edgehill community. He is one I will always remember. Keeping the family in prayer during this time.
