Although we knew that this day was imminent it is hard for me to find the words to express my sadness at Neil’s passing. You have both truly been a rock for me since we became neighbours in 1984.
Neil’s strength to endure such a long period of health issues is beyond belief.
I will always remember the times we shared and truly admire the courage that he exhibited through it all.
My deepest sympathy and love to all the Batchelor family on your loss
Mary and family
On behalf of Kathy Grant, Sharon Weller and Robyn Wilson:

My deepest sympathy and love to Aunty Val, Debbie, Brian, Darren and Narelle and your families. I remember Uncle Neil always took time to talk to everyone at our family gatherings. He was a kind and gentle man. Rest Peacefully.
