To know “Uncle Teddy” you knew he had a deep infectious laugh that would bring you to laughing with him. He loved to talk about his love of cars especially Cadillacs and Lincolns, his love of music and dancing and the love of his life that he had left behind in Germany. His greatest conversations were memories of his parents, his younger siblings and just the good old days. He truly was at peace and was happy he lived a long full life.

He leaves behind his younger siblings, his sister Agnes Stewart of Bridgeport, CT and his brother Arthur R. Batiste of Waterbury, CT. His two favorite nieces Tamara Clitso (Leonard) of Oneonta, NY and Serena Indergaard (Olin) of Earlville, NY who were in his heart the daughter’s he never had.
