Alan Bate's ashes were interred next to his parents and grandparents graves in the Bates family plot in beautiful Cave Hill Cemetary yesterday. It was a small mostly secular ceremony, unfortunately Alan's widow Rita, who is now residing at the home of their youngest daughter, was unable to attend.
The Bates family plot is located about equal distance between the McBride and Howard family grave sites so Alan will be in good company.
