For some reason—I don't know why—I was just thinking of Mr. Bartley last week. So I was shocked last night when Dad told me about his passing last Friday.
I had only met him a few times, including December 1989 where we chanced to meet at GE's cafeteria when I worked a temp mailroom job. (He and my Dad were at GE a heckuva lot longer than me!) Within the last year or so Matt and Ellen had told me about how he was getting on and about his train hobby. So I didn't know him except...

My heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathy goes out to the entire Bartley family at this sad time.
John was soft spoken and seemed to be everybody's friend. All those that knew John throughout the years of working at GE knew his passion for trains. By which giving him the well deserved nickname of "Chooch".
Also all the lunch meetings and celebrations he had a passion for rolls.
Rest in peace my friend
