Not sure what to say?

Mr B was a great man, mentor, and friend. After each time I spoke with him I felt smarter and happier. His stories I could listen to for hours and he was always so generous with his time. I am better having known him and miss him deeply

Sending condolences to Bartholomay family. I would have liked to talk sports with WB, after meeting his daughter Betsy at the Sandburg Village condos in the famous Chicago Gold Coast.

My condolences to the family of Mr. B . I am a retired American Airline Admirals Club rep who had the pleasure of assisting Mr. B , he was a top-tier flyer who I would meet a couple of times a month. He was so interesting, he would talk to everyone

I SERVED WITH BILL ON THE TURNER BROADCASTING BOARD FOR MANY YEARS. SHARED LOTS OF GOOD TIMES IN PALM BEACH AND ATLANTA. A CLASSY GUY! ALWAYS HAD PLACES TO GO, PEOPLE TO SEE, AND THINGS TO DO. REST IN PEACE,PAL.

I didn't have the honor to get to know Mr. Bartholomay but saw him all the time in the Chicago office. He inspired me to rethink the purpose of work and what it means to maintain a professional life. A true legend, he influenced so many lives without the realization. Thank you, Mr. B.!

Dear Betsy, My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family on your father's passing.

Sincerely,
