    Ed was wonderful man that everyone spoke highly of whenever he was mentioned. He was a very talented artist and passed that gift down to many family members. The Batting family is a wonderful family. I know you all have many great memories to share and a great sense of humor to help you through losing Ed so close to losing Dave. You have our sympathy.

    Mr. Batting was a very kind and friendly man. We have many of the ornaments that he made for my son at church and I also cherish a Steeler doll he gave me. Thank you for the memories Mr. Batting. Our prayers are with the family.
