James F. "Marshall" Bartley

Hi Cousins-have tried for awhile to track all of you down via Facebook, etc but today this popped up and I took a step back in time to 55 Hitchcock Street and your parents. So sorry for your losses. Your dad was a true American hero, a great family man and my dad had all sorts of stories to share of Holyoke summers in the 1940's! This is years in the making but when I saw this I had to drop a line. So few photos from those Sunday brunches with Aunt Ruth! Hope to reach out if you receive...

Dear Jim and Family,

I will always remember your Dad from HCC. One always knew he was in your group because he was the fastest player in the house. There were always two balls in the air...the players' who hit before Mr Bartley and HIS. I always refered to him as one of my three favorite Democrats..(The others being your uncle David and Mr Boardway). When my Dad passed, your Dad was the first one to pay his respects, placing a hat from The Wild Geese next to him. He was a GREAT friend...

Nancy,
Both Bill and I send our sincere sympathy on the sudden death of your father. I know this is a difficult time for all of you. I wish I lived closer so I could extend my condolences in person.

Sorry to hear of your dads passing. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
