P. Barton Cromer

Bart and I were Superintendents in similar school districts in Ohio. He was highly respected for his knowledgeability, integrity, thoughfulness and wit. He will be misssed by many.

Bart was both a schoolmate and a neighbor during Fairview days. I always remembered him as a pleasant fellow with a wry smile and a great disposition.I know it is a great burden for his family as I lost my wife of 46 years last January and am still not over it.

Bart was in the Dayton Boys Choir and I have not seen or heard from him since I graduated from HS in 1953. The time that we shared in the Dayton Boys Choir was a lasting memory. I actually now live in the city where the director had a summer resort. I have lived in Colorado since graduating from Fairview Highschool.

Judy and family:

We are so very sorry and must say quite shocked to hear of Bart's passing. Bart played an extremely important part in our lives...he certainly was a mentor to Bill and a good friend to us both. Sorry over the years we have not kept closer in touch. We will always remember the good times, the golf games, and you both stopping to visit us a few years back. We are very sad. Please take good care and know we are thinking of you. If you need anything, please call us. ...

Bart always had a smile and a comment to make everyone feel at ease and comfortable at family gatherings. Bart taught me how to play chess when I was very young and I can still remember going to your house in Trotwood to play. I have thought of both of you through the years and I am sorry to hear of Bart's passing.

Dear Judy, Matt, and John,
You are in our prayers. You have our deepest sympathy. We are blessed to have had Bart as a friend. We'll always remember his sense of humor, his adventurous spirit, and his love of family. We'll miss him so much.
Love,

Judy, we met at one of Bart's high school reunions. Members of his high school class remember him fondly; we are greatly saddened. Please know that you are in our prayers.

Judith, words cannot express my sense of loss and grief for you and your family. At this season of hope and love, I pray that you all will come to find peace and comfort in the new year.

We were so sorry to hear of Bart's sudden passing. Omer and I have been out of town last weekend and will also be out this weekend so are sorry to say will not be able to attend his service. The church will surly miss his willful and intelligent contributions. Our sincere regards also go the his mother and her family.
