Ernest Bartley

My memories of Dr. Bartley are vivid to this day. He was a professor of mine at UF in the 1980s. Now 25 years on I can say that the things I learned while watching him smoke his pipe and drink Coca Cola have been invaluable. The most important thing I learned was always know the answer to the question you are asking. His advice has held me in good stead for many years and I simply can not imagine the planning department with out his office stacked from floor to ceiling with a zillion...

My heart goes out to Dr. Bartley's family and friends. As a non-traditional student, I was privileged to study planning and zoning law foundations with Dr. Bartley. He was a tremendous teacher and inspiration and provided the foundation for my career-change, including his recommendation that I continue in law school. I am ever grateful for my learning experience with this wonderful mind and wonderful man. -- JD Grad 2006

I am proud to have learned constitutional law from Dr. Bartley. His love of the law was an inspiration.

A great constitutional law professor; the toughest I had and the best I had. He will be missed.

All of Florida will miss Bart.

Ruth,
We are so sorry for you're loss.
I am a long time friend when Ernest and you and Bob Waits taught round dancing and Ernest called square dances at the rec center. Kathryn use to dance with Harry Edwards and I danced with you some times.

You are in our prayers.

When I stand before God at the end of my life I would hope that I would have not a single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."

I don't think Dr. Bartley will have any problem in making this statement.

I'm so sorry for your great loss.

To Debbie, Dr. Will, Susan, Nan, Will Jr.

I just read today of your great lost! I will always remember the chat's and wealth of information that was Dr. Bartley. When you two returned from Alaska, when he wasn't sure he could attend. It touched me in a special way that only you all could understand. I'm just a phone call away!!! Just e-mail me for the numbers! I'll never forget him or you!
God Bless You All, Love Sherran Brooks

Dr. Bartley was one of the greatest teachers I ever had, and I feel so fortunate to have taken classes with him. He was dynamic and enthusiastic in class and provoked us to think harder than we were used to doing. My sympathies are with his family. I will never forget him.
