They say everything can be replaced
Yet every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here
Missing you today, my friend. How could I have made it without you.

Hey Bart! Got another chance to visit with your Mom recently and she told me some stories I had never heard. Aaaah! The "good old days"! Still miss you to this day, my friend, and that we haven't been able to make new memories. Your friend, Oz.

Bart - it is hard to believe 15 years have passed since I last saw you. I keep trying to hold myself to your standards and thank you for continuing to watch over us.
Until we meet again my friend.

Bart - watched the Life of Brian again Friday so we could spend some quality time together - hadn't watched it all the way through in some time but figured I'd honor you and the year 2020 with some low brow humor. Of course, Bright Side of Life we always remember but the Biggus Dickus and the People's Front of Judea are right up there.
What a crazy year - keep watching over us and keep us in line. Your friend, Oz.
December 4, 2019
Bart - trying to think of something profound to say to you - for some reason I thought back to when we first got to know each other - music was one of our gateways to friendship, so, my friend,
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon. Oz.

Bart - 12 years ago you were laid to rest and i am certain that you continue to warch over all of us that knew you for however short a period of time but most especially your wonderful wife and boys. i'm still hopeful that i can keep working on being a better person, cherishing all i have been given and trying to give back a little - something i learned from you long ago.
December 5, 2017
Bart - 11 years later and still looking at the bright side of life!
If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing

CT Forecast - Mostly sunny and cool.
CT weather - light snow, cloudy and windy
Bart, i am sure you appreciate the "irony" in that - tagline, "Why we moved to Florida".
hard to believe 10 years have past. Keep shining your light on your family and friends - your spirit and kindness still motivates me every day.

Dear Beth, Kyle, Colin and Brian,
Of course words can't adequately express how sorry we are for your loss. We will all miss Bart so much - especially on the baseball field. It won't be the same without him. It just doesn't seem real that this horrible disease could have taken such a special person. As you know there are so many of us who are here for you in any way we can help or just be here. Colin is welcome to hang with Jake any time he wants. Just let us know. Meanwhile, we are thinking of you so much and just feeling awful for this long struggle you all have been through. Love, Ann, Jim, Becca, molly and Jake

Dear Beth,
Please accept my sincere condolence on Bart's passing amd also to emphasize how courageous you and the family have been in supporting him through his struggle with myeloma. If there is anything at all we can do for you, please just ask. You have been such a kind and good neighbor and this so unfair to have happened to you and the boys. Yours ever, The Blums

I was very, very saddened to learn of Bart's passing. We had worked together on two cases during the past 10 years. He was a great pleasure to work with, and was a consumate professional. My heartfelt condolences on your
immeasurable loss.

I am just crushed to hear of Bart's passing. We worked on a large case together for quite some time and I had a couple of other cases with Bart over the years. Bart was an easy going, funny person and I enjoyed his company and the chats we had after depositions or Court, usually about our kids and youth baseball. He was a very skilled lawyer, an excellent questioner, and more importantly, just a fine person. My deepest sympathy to his family, colleagues and frieds.

I just wanted to offer my condolences and kind thoughts. My father told me today of Bart's passing. I used to work with him at my father's law firm and he was such a wonderful man. I remember how much he talked about Beth and I have no doubt he was an adoring father. This is a loss for his wonderful family, those that have had the pleasure of his company and those that never had the chance. I am so very sorry. Much love, Jennifer

Beth, My thoughts and prayers are with you and the boys at this time of loss. I got to know Bart during high school when we played on the basketball team together for Coach Scully. He was a special person and will be missed by many who knew him. In recent years I appreciated the talks we had when I would call him to discuss our Wolcott Basketball Alumni activities. I know how much family meant to him as he would always talk about you and the boys. He would also always mention the youth sports activities he shared with the boys. He was so courageous through his long battle. I'm sure that the people he touched during his lifetime learned so much about life in general from Bart. In my thoughts and with deepest sympathy.

Dear Ralph, Dorothy, Beth, Leslie, Kevin and family. We want to express our condolences at this difficult time in life for everyone who knew Bart. I remember Bart growing up and later playing basketball as a fun loving, free spirit. I'm sure he has passed that trail onto others thru his coaching and raising his family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Rick & Cheryl

Dear Beth, Kyle, Colin & Brian,
Words cannot express my sadness for your loss of such a wonderful husband and father. Bart is as special as they come and I feel blessed just to have known him. As you go through the rest of this holiday season, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I lost my son, Shane, in March of this year and though I know that the holidays will be difficult, it is through the precious memories of him and the love of friends and family that will see me through. So, please know that your family is loved and being prayed for. And also know that the precious memories of Bart and his spirit do live on in all of us that he has touched.
God Bless always, Lee

Beth, I wish to send my deepest condolences to you and the boys. You have all endured such a long hard battle. "When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure." I heard this saying 14 years ago when my husband passed, and it gave me some peace in knowing that even though he was no longer here with us, those memories we have will be cherished forever. May you always cherish every moment you Bart & the boys have shared, and may they stay with you forever. With sincere sympathy.

Bart - another year passes. Quickly. Without a thought of what it brings us closer to. Time to have that thought.......and share it with those we love.
............ after all these years.

Another year has come and gone and more memories made and more memories resurrected. The world keeps turning, the universe trembling revealing to us what was and what may be (my words, for a change)
I strive each day to be a better person - to try to find that place of enriched contentment that you revealed to me could coexist with deep thoughts and unanswered questions.
Well, for now, i will leave you with a memory recently resurrected - how i long for more hair!!
Peace.

Bart - no missing writing you this time around. (is that a sentence?) Life remains a wonderful and joyous mystery for me. Your strength is my strength and I so look forward to the time we will meet again, dear friend.

The love that's shining all around you
Everywhere it's what you make for us to take, it's all too much
Floating down the stream of time
From life to life with me

Bart - decided to check in and then realized I had written a note last year! - Shame on me. I missed our 35th WHS Reunion - I've been telling them I will only show up if you promise to come, too. Well, if we are lucky enough to have a 40th, I will make a point to show up and bring you with me.
Not all is well on planet Earth but we keep working on it. If you get a chance, let us know what's going on in your world!
Peace, brother - you were the best. Oz.

5 years have gone by in a flash, my friend - I can't believe you missed Frannie's wedding! (Probably not, but what do I know). Lovely girl that finally found a way to keep him focused.
I was going to upload a photo of me this time, but when I saw how HUGE I had gotten, decided against it..........
I don't have a lot to offer these days - you are ever in my thoughts, and as I approach this wonderful time of the year I reflect but keep my eye on today and tomorrow at the same time.
Keep me inspired. Your friend, Oz.

Hey Bart - heard from Beth yesterday and that was special. I can't believe 4 years have gone by - turned 50 this - a milestone we should have been able to talk and laugh about. Well, I celebrated "Ozzie's birthday weekend" and yours, too.
Bart- your impact on me and all of those whose lives you touched is immeasurable. We miss you. Oz.

Hey, Bart - I narrowly missed the dedication of the new "Bart Warner Field" in Needham. I wonder if you that had anything to do with your stupendous left field play. way back when, daydreaming and then realizing the ball had gone right past you, up the gap! Or could it have been because you fell victim to the "hidden ball trick" that one day (sorry, buddy, but I'm not certain the only reason it happened was because I, your best friend at the time, did it to you.....)
On a more serious note, there obviously could not be a more deserving dedication/tribute than the one that your friends and family in Needham gave you this year. I will now have a place to go to celebrate our friendship and your simple approach to life - live and love, be loved and be kind.
I continue to aspire to be the type of man you became. Oz.

Well, Bart, another year has gone by. As usual, some ups and downs, but always looking on the bright side of life!
I put up another picture - my first house in Bristol on Hull St. I remember how hard it was to drag you and Beth down from Boston! Well, we'll always have the 76 Truck Stop buffet.....
Keep looking over us, my friend. oz

Hey Bart! I know it's been some time since I posted a note to you, but I just got through feeling sad, and thought "that's not the way Bart would want it" so I decided to Google you and see where you've been.
Here's what I have come up with:
Bart Warner - Champion of Inclusion
Bart Warner - Truck dealer of the year
Bart Warner - Director of Planning and Community Development
Dr. Bart Warner - Regional Medical Officer.
Bart, I could go on and on. But I think that the most telling thing about you is this very eloquent and sagacious quote, a life's work if you will:
"Most mothers don't try to convince their kids to go into the transportation industry because they don't understand what it is," said Bart Warner, ...
Well, buddy, while all of this may be true, I prefer to remember you "one autumn afternoon in front of a hostile crowd at Molyneux..."
Live Strong, my friend
You are sorely missed.
Christmas Day - 1981 (Thanks, Les!)

Bart, it's must be strange for you seeing how we are dealing with your absence. I'm sure you can't spend all your time with earthly endeavors, but, somehow, please shine your light on us, at least every once in a while.

Dear Beth, I was saddened by the news of Bart's passing. He was a good friend that always made our work easy. Although I haven't been in touch in a long time, he is someone I will never forget. I will miss him dearly. If I've learned anything through the years, it's that nothing beautiful in this world is ever really lost, those we cherish will always live on in memory. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
