Bart Braun

I am so sorry I am just seeing this! I wanted to share my story of my relationship with Bart Braun! I work in the hotel industry and met Bart while he was on assignment with the Tampa Rays! I immediately was drawn to the guy because of his kind hearted nature! I met a lot of scouts and famous athletes and what not! Bart was different! A truly genuine person! I stayed in contact with Bart for a few years! He even met my son and Zachary at a Kannapolis Intimidators baseball game! He was awesome...

My Dear brother Bart I think of you and hold you close all the time you are the Man my friend... We all Love you for nothing Loved is ever lost... Will always keep in touch with through the years ahead, GOD BLESS YOU...

Bart and I played on the Vallejo High Apaches football team together and what I remember was the impact he made during the '73 season. One moment stands out: Playing on a muddy mess of a field on a rain-soaked Friday evening up in Calistoga. Bart played defensive back and I was a linebacker. After suffering an ankle injury and being out for two games, the Calistoga venture was my first return to the field. So I was a bit rusty and somewhat slow to react, especially when it came to defending...

To the Braun Family,
Please accept my condolences and remember Bart's fun-filled spirit and laughter. Bart was a friend of mine while we were growing up in Vallejo and at Solano College. I will always remember Bart walking around in a trench-coat, baseball cap, and tossing a baseball up in the air.....over, and over, again! As Bart would say, " put the lime in the coconut Strat....
I will miss you my Brother. Kim David Stafford, aka Strat

Our Dads worked at the phone company, and we played strike out at Washington play ground. Our deepest condolences from the Thurin family.

Bart Jr,

My condolences to you and the family. I’m saddened to hear the passing of your father. May you find comfort in all the great memories.

Eric,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Your brother Bart. I remember him well from back in the days from when we played at you house when we were 5th graders. Eric, Your in our thoughts and prayers.
Joe & Pam Bullock

Eric and family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you grieve this loss. Please accept our deepest condolences from the Dacey and Coronado families.

I guess this means you and Paul Scola won’t have a rematch at the Vallejo Junior High School inner track to bet on who can throw a football farther. It seems like only yesterday you and Scola challenged each other on who had faster fastball or football canon arm during our “wonder years” in junior high school. I’m so happy you had a life well lived in MLB!
