Loved all the storys both of my Uncles shared with me, and loved they kept them simple for my benefit. I was so glad you got to share them with my children also. So many adventures in one life !
Living so far away , you always made the effort to stay connected, and it was appreciated by me. (especially on the 70's road trip). Boy -that was one long talk that time ! Thanks !
Until we meet again, I will watch the eagles fly and know all is well.
Love, Laura

Bart, I gained you as my father-in-law when I married Brian but came to love you as a father. I will miss you more than you will ever know. I will miss becoming buddies as we made all of our road trips. I loved our trips to the base and going shopping. Now where are we going to buy Scrapple? Brian loves it and the base is the only place I know that sells it. Guess I'll learn how to make it from scratch. I loved listening to all of your stories about your fascinating life. Very few people in the world today can say they've done all of what you've done, experienced what you have....and survived as long as you did given some of the things you have been through. I will miss hanging out at the Clover Patch eating BLTs with a fruit cup, that restaurant will never be the same without you. And I promise to finish making the turtle necklaces for you. You had them laid out with everyone's name on them so I know who each one is for, and you even showed me the aisle at the craft store and exactly what chains and clasps to use. I'm on it Bart. I will also enlarge your rose photo and send it to relatives like we talked about. A huge void has been left in my life from losing you but I know you wouldn't want me to be sad. You'd tell me to keep my chin up. As you always said...I'm doing pretty good for the shape I'm in. Brian and I are hurting so much but we are trying to keep our chins up. All I have to do is think about that heart warming smile of yours, that I will treasure in my heart forever, and it makes me smile. I love you forever Bart.

Dearest Brother,
I will miss our conversations on so many subjects. I'm so glad we became closer in recent years. Garrett and I will always treasure our memories of times we had together. I will pray that our family that has gone before welcome you into Heaven with open arms.
Love and God Bless You,
Jasmine & Garrett

Uncle Bart,
You are sorely missed and I only wish Pierre and I had made arrangements to come see you in August 2011 than our planned visit this summer. I miss all the short trips to see you, over the 10 years I was travelling out your way for work-related projects. I hope you and Dad see each other in Heaven.
Love,
Donnie & Pierre Bartholomew
