George Henry Bartell Jr.

After WWII, my grandmother managed the lunch counter at the East Madison store. She remembered George H. bringing his newborn son, George D., into the store and showing him to everyone with great pride. Later he brought each of his children into the store showing how much they’d grown. My grandmother and her sisters worked for the Bartell Drug Co. for many years and every encounter with Mr. Bartell was equally pleasant. My grandmother kept all of her photos of the store and everyone she...

From the Members and Staff of UFCW Local 21 our deepest sympathy and condolences to the Family.

My condolences to the Bartell family. I am honored to have worked at Bartell's during the 100 year celebration back in 1990. Hearing Mr. George H. reminisce while looking through the photos was a highlight. He was a kind man, a gentleman, well respected and respectful. His presence was graceful, simple, wise. His legacy certainly lives on. Blessings to George, Jean, Bob and your families.

I met him on one of the days he came into the Roosevelt store, and was fortunate to be asked if I'd like to have my picture taken with him. I've enjoyed that photograph and memory! He was such a gentle man, and gentleman.

He will be missed.

condolences to the family.

For all who have known George over the last century, our sympathy is with each of you. George was the epitome of a Queen Anner, residing on the Hill for most of his life, and contributing greatly to the greater community around him. He will be sincerely missed by us. Kim R.
