My dear Ellen, and all of Mike's family,
I JUST heard about Mike this week and I, frankly, was (and am) totally devastated! He was such a good, fun, totally loving man, a character, and one who truly was such a major part of my formulative earlier days. His everpresent optimism, humor and smile will always be with me, and I am sure with you! Please accept my belated, but no less sincere, deepest condolences. I am heartbroken ... Love, Charlie ("C.A.")

With empathy, I send heartfelt regrets to the family on your (really OUR) loss. MIke was a great human being. I hope that during your celebration of all he brought to life you will find the things that soften your loss and bring you joy, understanding and acceptance of the change you are experiencing. May these, in turn, lead you eventually to a new peace in your lives.
Sincerely,
Linda Bartels

Mr Bartles, I will always remember my time with you and John. Our time at S&S, reloading in your basement, Nana, Kuma, your Mustang, your firm reprimands, your handing me your fishing pole with an unknown bass on the line, your tall silhouette, and most of all your guidance when I needed it. I will always remember you fondly. God Speed and rest in peace!

Deeply saddened to learn of your loss. May God's grace bring you all strength in the coming days and months. Have not seen Mike in many years, but will always remember and appreciate his sense of humor shared while pursuing our library duties at Shawnee Mission East High School. I know he will be truly missed by so many. Wishing you peace and solace.

Dear Ellen, John and Family,
Albert and I are still in CA and just heard the sad news. Mike was always smiling and we loved it when we saw him in "the neighborhood.'
Please know our thoughts are with you at this time. He will be missed. Fondly,
Cecille and Albert Silverman
