Not sure what to say?

Barth: Your father was one of the last true gentlemen I have ever known. What a gracious man he was and I enjoyed working with him at Hershey Chocolate. I very much enjoyed the lunch we all shared several months ago and I will remember him always. My heart is with all of you right now and may God Bless each and every one. Love and Kisses to all.

We LOVED Bart here at Memorial Medical Center. He was a gentle and gracious man who always had a smile. He was a wonderful volunteer and made many friends. We will miss him greatly.

The Rose Beyond the Wall
Near a shady wall a rose once grew,
Budded and blossomed in God's free light,
Watered and fed by the morning dew,
Shedding it's sweetness day and night.

As it grew and blossomed fair and tall,
Slowly rising to loftier height,
It came to a crevice in the wall
Through which there shone a beam of light
Onward it crept with added strength
With never a thought of fear or pride,
It followed the light...

A very kind gentleman. Admired and respected by many who worked with him. ..........Nancy Ritts
