DAYVILLE — Marc “Skip” Bates arrived as Country Living at Westview Commons’ February 2022 Employee of the Month. He is one of the Westview Commons transportation specialists, driving the facility’s grand, 12-passenger van to assist residents on trips that are needed and special trips, for example, to the Bradley Playhouse.
He is a 1973 graduate of the Putnam High School and earned his bachelor’s in accounting from American International College in 1977. He worked for 40 and a half years in accounting at Colt’s Plastics Company in Dayville, retiring in 2019 as their CFO.
He and his wife Tori have five children and 13 grandchildren.
Recreationally, he enjoys outside work in the forms of gardening, lawn care, and the important task of cutting, splitting, and stacking wood for his wood-fired stove. One of his biggest extracurricular passions is his membership in the Christian Motorcyclists Association along with his wife Tori.
Executive Vice President David T. Panteleakos said: “Skip is an asset to Westview Commons in both transporting our residents as well as showing his devoted support to them in so many ways. His kind and warm demeanor towards each and every resident, family member, and guest that visits Westview Commons keeps the good will going around our community.”
