Charles Anthony "Buddy" Barton

Kay & Boys,

I am so sorry to hear Buddy has left you, and I know you must miss him terribly. He was such a pistol! Fun, unpredictable, spontaneous... never a dull moment, which you all know better than most! I am glad I had the opportunity to know such a delightful character! I hope you all find comfort in those colorful stories and warm memories.

Anthony...

I'm so sorry and saddened to hear of your father's passing. My condolences and sympathy to you and your family.

Dearest Kay,
Please accept my most heartfelt condolences. I just recently learned of Buddy's battle with cancer and I am very saddened for your loss. One of my most treasured memories (and a story I still tell today) is when Buddy and I took a 4-day, 3-night canoe trip from Columbia to Charleston down the Congaree river back in '77. It was a Radio Station promotion that turned out to be quite an adventure and remains a benchmark in my life. Now, more than ever I am reminded of one of...

Dear Barton Family,
I am deeply sorry for your loss. The Barton Family and Buddy were a great help to me when I lived in Charleston, SC. Buddy will be greatly missed but never forgotten. God bless you and your family.

Kay and family I am saddened to hear of Buddys passing. I send this note to let you know that I remember being friends with Buddy from 37st school up to and including Frat. brothers at UGA which were great years.

Gods peace,

Tom and Janice Dudley

Our family is saddened to hear of the death of Mr. Barton and we offer you our heartfelt condolences. Our son, Peter Matonis, was an employee of Mr. Barton’s at the Barton and Burwell store in Mount Pleasant. He worked there after his graduation from The Citadel in 2006 until he reported for active duty with the United States Army this past February. His experience with Barton and Burwell absolutely deepened his love for hunting and fishing. Thank you. - Sincerely, The Matonis Family, Idaho...

I grew up with Buddy when he and his family lived on 36th Street. My family lived on 37th Street (the White's). Buddy and I became friends along with my siblings. We had a lot of good times playing in the vacant field behind my house. I remember Buddy being a great guy. He will surely be missed. My prayers to his family.

Kay,

I was so sorry to hear of Buddy’s passing; I knew he was very ill but did know the end would come so soon. It was great to see you both 3 years ago and you at the reunion last year. Buddy was a very nice guy and I know he will be missed by his family and many friends. I knew him in the old 37th Street neighborhood and fondly remember his mother, whom we all saw daily as our crossing guard at 37th Street Elementary. I know this must be especially tough for her.

My condolences to you Kaye and family. Buddy was a good friend and wonderful member of the family. My heart goes out to you
