Didnt know we could leave comments basically. I never got to know you grandpa, but i inadvertantly followed in your footsteps, just not being an officer. I wish i had gotten the opportunity to know you, and as long as i draw breath youll be loved and remembered.

I never got the opportunity to meet you bc of someone elses mistake, but I will forever carry on your memory for myself and our family. My brother was even named after you, so do not worry. We will make sure you are remembered for the amazing person that you were. My condolences go out to everyone who has ever lost a loved one due to some one elses hand. You will always be with us Great-Grandpa Bateson. We love and miss you.

Detective Bateson,
My father was William Bell who died with you that day in 1966. I know that your two daughters still grieve as I do every day for their loss. I pray that your family is well.
