MY deepest sympathies to you Lyn and your children and many grandchildren. I remember Bates in his prime, as the assistant principal at LRHS. He was hardworking and a great problem solver. His patience and knowledge of how the building worked out him at the center of everything related to the maintenance of LRHS. We laughed and teased each other a lot over those years. I will miss the chance meetings with him at the post office in VKH. Rest in peace Bates.

Heather, please accept my deepest condolences to you and your family. My thoughts are with you and your family.

My deepest sympathy Lyn to you and all your family. Bates was a great guy and I'm so very sorry for your loss. Thinking of you all.
