Matthew Brew Bartley

BARTLEY, Matthew Brew Age 53, of Bedford Hills, New York, unexpectedly passed away on January 26, 2010. He grew up in Voorhees Township, New Jersey, and succeeded better than most at what he attempted. He graduated from Paul VI High School, University of Pennsylvania, Yale University and Columbia University School of Law. He was a National Merit Scholar. He was gifted with athletic ability and an exceptional mind. He was renowned as a patient mentor and welcome counselor to his family, business associates and friends. He had many friends, life-long and new, who will mourn his passing. His success in business led to successful careers as vice president, treasurer and chief financial officer of various corporations. He read extensively and collected books his entire life, and his collection, squeezed with an antiquarian's care into specially made shelves and storage spaces, was one of his joys and a source of admiration and amusement to those who knew him. His greatest happiness seemed to come from his marriage and his daughter, whom he doted upon. He is survived by his loving wife, Wendy, and daughter, Katherine; his mother, Ms. Janet Bartley of Voorhees, NJ; his two sisters: Brigid Bartley and Moira Harrison; and his three brothers, Kieran, Garret and Brendan and his nephew Zachary McCart. A celebration of his life was held at St Matthews Church, Bedford, NY on Sat, Jan 30.
