"I was a music student of Mr. Batdorf's. I didn't do very well in his class, but I did see how talented and brilliant his soul was. He was a brilliant musician, and I enjoyed his personality greatly. After three years, I still think of him. I was saddened a few moments ago when I read of his passing almost a year ago. Although I didn't know him personally, even I could appreciate who he was. Rest in piece, you crazy professor. I hope to meet you again."

"For many years I've taken a seat in the side sanctuary at church where I could see Ron's fingers dance across organ and piano keys. He made it look so easy and enjoyable that you could tell that his ministry through music was a God-given gift. Sending prayers to Sandy and the family for a peace that passes all understanding at this difficult time."
