I want to offer my condolences to the Bartmanski Family. I worked with Tim at M.E. Campbell and also shared an office with him at Delphi. He was so proud of his family and spoke very often about you all. As you all know,he was also very proud to be a Marine Veteran. I found it ironic that he was buried on Memorial Weekend. Happy Memorial Day and R.I.P. Tim.
