Robert Bateman Family FundRobert Bateman passed away unexpectedly January 15th 2019. He leaves behind his loving wife Molly, 3 year old Daughter Kinley, and 7 month old son Jace. Robert was an instant friend to everyone he met. He always greeted everyone with a smile and had an great sense of humor. He loved life and lived it to the absolute fullest.
Robert started off in the elevator business in LA working for a non-union company. After about 4 years he joined the Local 18 Union in LA. He then joined the Local 8 union July of 2013and became apart of the Schindler family. Over the last 5 years we have had the pleasure of working closely with Robert. His friendship meant a lot to everyone including the entire Schindler San Francisco/Sacramento team. He will be dearly missed.
The money raised in this GoFundMe campaign will be given to Robert's wife Molly to help alleviate funeral and memorial expenses. Any contribution amount will be greatly appreciated by Robert's family.Wesley Diaz Family FundThis fund is to support the family of Wesley David Diaz, who passed away unexpectedly due to unknown causes early Sunday morning, December 16th.

Wesley was highly regarded by all of his co-workers at One Market Plaza and will be deeply missed.Any and all contributions to help the family of Wesley will be greatly appreciated.
