May God be with this whole family. Tony was a wonderful person; him and his family will be in my thoughts forever. I was with Tony for almost 7 years in college. He was caring, thoughtful and funny. He made Youngstown bearable. You will forever be in my thoughts and prayers Bartholomew family.

Fran and Family,
I knew Tony in College- dated Steve his roommate for many years. I loved Tony, we stayed friends after Steve and I broke up and even when I was in grad school at YSU.
Tony was awesome. I loved it when we would visit you guys for the super bowl, to have the famous pepperoni rolls, and hearing his stories about his prank wars in high school. He was a colorful, creative, unique and just one of the nicest souls I have ever met.
I wish he was here for me to say these things, but I hope he knows. I am so happy I knew Tony. Thank you for creating such an amazing person.

Dear Bartholomew Family, I didn't really know Tony, but I saw him at work multiple times during the week. We always exchanged a "hello" as we passed, but sadly, as my work on the floor above his never really put me into direct contact with him, I never got the chance to know him. That being said, I wanted to express to you my most heartfelt sympathies over your loss. Reading about Tony and all the great things people have to say about him makes me wish that I had gotten to know him beyond our friendly greetings.
I'm going to add a photo to the guestbook that I'm thinking you may never have seen before - it's a picture of Tony from our company directory. I think it's a great picture and shows that he did have happiness in his life.
Best Regards and Deepest Sympathy,

I cannot express the sorrow I felt upon hearing of Tony's passing. He was a student of mine at YSU - and one of the most unforgettable. Tony was a truly gifted artist, and a very special person. I only saw him a few times after his graduation from YSU and was so glad to reconnect with him at Zygote Press. It brought me great joy to hear of his success as an artist - I know he would have had a strong and continuous presence in the art community. I'm sure I cannot express enough sympathy to quell your grief, but please accept my condolences for your loss and know that you are in my thoughts.

Thoughts and prayers are with you now and in the future. Bart was a very special person. His smile would go on forever, and I never saw anyone enjoy food as much as he did. He could drink and eat all three hours in BCC, if he had any food left, and then he would eat lunch!!! He always would draw a picture on his test and had kinds words for all. May the memories of joyful times fill you now and in the coming days,and may the comfort of God surround you. Barb Coons, David and Danielle.

My first introduction to Anthony was through his art which I had seen at an exhibit. I absolutely loved it! That led to me meeting him. I was so impressed with his warmth, politeness, and cheerful nature. Such a pleasant young man! As the mother of four children my heart goes out to his family and all who knew him well. God's blessing on Anthony.

I still remember us as tots in NJSL together -- you were amazing back then & lit up the field.... as you did through HS (both in the classroom & on the field). Always with your smile too! An amazing spirit & demeaner that inspired/calmed us all. God bless you & your family. You will be deeply missed.

Although I hadn't seen Anthony in a few years he left a permanent print on my life. He was my first printmaking instructor and helped me discover my favorite medium.

Sorry for the loss of you son. There is no bond like that between a parent and child. You do not know me but I am a mom and it saddens me to know how you must feel. Please draw comfort from this promise, "He is healing the brokenhearted ones and is binding up their painful spots", Psalms 147:3
