Jeanne and Family, I was so sad to hear of John’s passing. He was a good man and I remember him from when he worked for his father and used to come to our house in DC with him even when he was young. My father would have no other plumbers but Bateman’s!! After all these years, I still enjoyed talking with him whenever I would run into you all in Prince Frederick or at Dares Beach ( our home sweet home for us both) I know you will miss him but will cherish his memory always. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you all at this sad time.

Jeanne, my wife Paulette and I send our prayers to you and your family. I enjoyed the “Shop Talk” John and I shared while we worked at the food pantry. John is one of the good guys and I will miss him.
