I met Bart in 1965 when he was a fraternity brother of my brother. He steadfastly remained a great friend to my brother the rest of his life & is missed.

Bart was a treasured friend of my brother for over 55 years. He visited my brother’s family in various countries & talked monthly via phone. He will never be forgotten.

Bart was my cousin and I have fond memories of him when we were children. I spent quite a bit of time in the big white Mendenhall house as a child. It brings back so many fun memories. My brothers, Bart and myself used to spend a lot of time playing together. He will be missed. My condolences to the family.
