Dear Todd, Tammy & Family : My thoughts are with you all at this sad time.
Your parents were good friends to my Mom and Dad. I have memories of fun times spent with your family when we were kids, and your Dad was a big part of all the activity! As an adult, I always enjoyed seeing your Dad with his big smile and eagerness to hear about what life was bringing us.

So very sorry to hear of Mr. Bateson's passing. We got to know him from the Fireside Restaurant. He always had a great smile, and a loved to chat, especially with my husband about motorcycles. May your memories of happier times, carry you through this most difficult time for your family.

Jim and Mary were our summer neighbors at North beach in Hampton for 20 years. Jim would oversee every project we did and helped out on many an occasion. One of the best memories we have was his love for his afternoon cocktail on his front deck watching the activity of surfers, walkers and loud motorcycles. We looked forward to May every year when Jim and Mary would return for the summer. They will be greatly missed.
Joy and Jack Merrill
