Saddened to hear of the passing of Brian. As the father of my close school friend Murray he was always very good to me and I always felt very welcome at the Batchelor home. Roger South

I was so sorry to read that my favourite teacher from Brightwater School has passed. I have such fond memories of Mr Batchelor as a teacher and well respected leader in my primary school years. I was lucky enough to catch up with him at Brightwater School 150 year anniversary. My deepest sympathy to his family.
