As a friend, we shared years of experiences, from being one of my best men at our wedding to being roommates at my house on Lansdowne Ave. He was always a postive role model and touched everyone's life in always a positive way. I regret not keeping in touch more often but I really wish I could of known sooner. MY thoughts are still and will always be there in all the great encounters I am proud to have shared with Batch. My heart and prayers go out to Batch and his entire family. Take care. - Posted by: Roger Debusschere (Friend) on: Jan 01, 2012
