Earl A. Bartness

To the family of Earl Bartness...
I just found out about his passing and I am offering my prayers and condolences to you all. I worked as a buyer for Fairway and Nash Finch for many years and knew Earl well. He was a fun person with a good sense of humor...and yes. we did make it through learning those computers when they were new. Sometimes it was a frustration for him but we did it. He will be missed.

You may not remember me. My name is Sharon Roberts, I am Minnie Nolte's granddaughter, Frances Holland's daughter.
I have fond memories of your dad. I always remember him with a wonderful smile and a twinkle in his eye. I remember him and your mom coming down to grandma's cafe in Leland, IA or visiting with them at Uncle Lawrence and Aunt May's house. I used to stop in and see your dad in the grocery store in Albert Lea when I was in high school. He was such a friendly soul.

I was sad to hear about Earl. I last saw him at my mom's memorial service in Minneapolis when Vicky was kind enough to drive there. He was a great friend of my dad's, Bob Krominga, and I always remember him as being such a kind/ hard-working person. We wish you all the best at this difficult time.

To the family of Earl Bartness:

Please accept our sympathy for your loss. It was an honor to be with Earl during his final days. May your memories bring you comfort.

Sincerely,
The Fairview Hospice Team

Vicky and Family,
Though I only had a short time to get to know your dad, I know that he touched many lives at The Gathering. We shared many smiles and laughs with him and I am blessed to have known him. God's blessings to you always.

Sincerely,

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Sorry for your lose.
