Robert Willis James Bartik

I will forever remember Robert's kindness, intelligence, and sense of humor. Throughout school, he made us laugh, sometimes at the wrong times! He also challenged us to be better at everything we tried because he gave his all in everything: sports, singing, classes. I feel privileged to have grown up with him!

I worked with Robert at Miller international for many years. A funny memory, i am a morning person, so me and my chipper self would wish him a "good morning Robert". I would get a low mumbled gruff of good morning. I loved it. In all seriousness, Robert was very knowledgeable and explained our newest upgrades and system changes. He was one intelligent cookie. We had some good laughs and some debates. In the end we were all family at Miller. Rest in peace my friend. Prayers of peace and...

Robert and I worked together for a little over a decade. We have laugh so many times that it would take too long to write all the stories here. Being French myself, we were not seeing things the same way on a lot of subjects primarily due to cultural differences. But no matter how we could disagree, there was always a mutual respect and appreciation. We could debate about things, disagree and have a wonderful laugh about it because both of us were goof balls too. I miss that tremendously...

Robert was always such a bright light! That sweet face says it all, and it's the same face he has been sharing with us through everything he has endured. He will live in our hearts as a young man with so much potential and as someone who showed us how to play the hand he was dealt with grace and grit, along with all his loving family. You are all in my and my family's hearts!

Robert was so kind, gentle, and someone that was just an all around good guy. Rest in peace my friend.

I remember many fun times in both junior and senior high school, and Robert´s being an outstanding basketball player. "The only scars in heaven are the hands that hold you now" (Casting Crowns).

Rest in peace my friend.

My sincerest condolences to family & friends. I didn´t have the honor of knowing Robert but I knew Kris was absolutely in love with him
