In New Jersey, Words Of Condolence . . .

New Jersey State Senate Republican Leader Tom Kean’s statement on the passing of former Senate President Raymond Bateman this morning: “When it came to public service, Senator Ray Bateman was a giant. He was one of the people that I admired most growing up in a family that followed a similar path. He’s someone that many of us who serve now try to emulate. “I would like to offer my deepest condolences to his family, and to his son, my friend Senator Kip Bateman, with whom I have the honor to serve.”
