Vane Quentin Bates

West Point, 1955

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Anna Bates on June 24, 2013:

Monday Quent had a fantastic time fishing on the Green River, one of his favorite things to do. Friday we celebrated our 55th wedding anniversary with a lovely dinner, perfect for a cadet from the class of '55. Today he worked a little, walked the dog, then we went to our great grand daughter's T- ball game, lunch followed then home where Quent passed away quietly while reading a "good book".

So sudden, so sad, he is now in the arms of our Heavenly Father. He is the love of my life and I look forward to our reunion in eternity. He has joined "The Long Gray Line".

Thankfully I am surrounded by of our loving family and friends

With a sad heart, Anna
