I knew and worked with Chet back in the 8th district, a long time ago. I caught up with him a few years ago and had a nice chat when we were both working at the Federal Building. My condolences to his family. I'm sorry I missed his death notice, I just learned his passing today. REST IN PEACE CHET !

To those of us that are left, not us keep meeting this way and fighure out a way to stay in touch.
Chester is my cousin who have help me in a number of way with the most memorable one was how he assisted me when I was sent to Ft. Carson Co. He was able to aid me in getting out of the Army early to go to school with a Honorable Discharge. May you rest in pease and I'll see ya again!

To the beloved Batey family, may the perfect peace of God be with you during this time of bereavement. I had a few brief occasions to meet Chester, through his baby sister Gloria, or GB as I call her. I will always remember his energy and zeal for life. I wish that I could be with you at this time GB, but I pray that the Lord will find a happier occasion for us to meet again soon. God Bless you all from Armond and I and the entire New Birth Apostolic Church family.

Condolences to the family. I am a 1966 graduate of Hyde Park High School. Chet graduated before me , but we worked together, He was a police officer and I was with the Chicago Department of Human Services.Thank you, Chet for your years of service to the people of the City of Chicago. You will be missed by all who love you.Until we meet again,my friend,be at peace.

I will miss my cousin Chet “Little Chester” just like I miss my cousins Franklin E. McGowan, Aaron “Payne” Batey and my brother Marvin “Squeakie” Irving. Coincidently our very last words though shared with each man at different hours were, I love you man.
Love such a powerful word. GOD is Love. Norman “Cookie” Irving.

A prayer for ALL!

Lord, make me an instrument of thy PEACE!
Where there is hatred…let me sow LOVE.
Where there is injury…PARDON. Where there is discord…UNITY.
Where there is doubt…FAITH. Where there is error… TRUTH
Where there is despair…HOPE. Where there is sadness…JOY.
Where there is darkness…LIGHT.

Oh Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek.
To be consoled…as to CONSOLE. To be understood…as to UNDERSTAND
To be loved…as to LOVE.
For
It is in giving…that we RECEIVE. It is in pardoning, that we are PARDONED.
It is in dying…that we are born to ETERNAL LIFE.
-Saint Francis of Assis -

I've eat guy only known Chester for 3 years, but he was a great guy who could always be counted on.

My condolences to the family of Chester Mack Batey, Jr. Former school mate of Hyde Park High School/Class of 1966.

My Condolences, on the passing of a good family friend Chet. He will be missed.

Chester was my cousin and over the years we lost contact with each other. I didn't know Chester the man but I knew Chester the boy and that is how I will remember him.

I didn't know Chester Batey, but I know his sister Alva. I remember Alva talking fondly of her older brother who was a Chicago Police Officer. Alva was very proud of her big brother. I know he will be missed. My prayers are with Alva and the Batey Family.

Chet was a dear friend to me & my family he will be missed by many.

Dear Family,

You have my deepest sympathy. It's very hard losing a brother and son. I will be thinking about all of you during this time.

I didn't know Chester Batey personally, but he was the brother of my good friend Gloria. My condolences to the family and remember, "Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal."

My condolences, Chet was family to me as he was my late Brother-in-law, Franklin E. McGowan's cousin. I will miss him but I have been blessed to have him as my cousin too.

Chet, My older brother. I will miss you so much. You know my educational plan is entering fruition. I know you will be there in spirit. I love you.

I worked with Chester several times while a member of the CPD. He was a dedicated police officer.

I'm sorry to have learned of the passing of Chester. I had worked with him in the the 003 district. I found him to have been a super person and police officer and always enjoyed his presence. John J. Ciszewski Sgt. retired CPD
