We went to the shop for many years. He was so kind to us and was a great man. I've thought of him so often since he retired. He will be so fondly remembered and missed.

Bart was a very good Body Worker. I had several vehicles that he worked on enabling me to resell. We had many political and religious conversations.



Bart was great friend! We worked together.
We frequently argued on these topics, but remained friends. He took his religious views seriously. God be with you Bart!! Vic W. Vollrath

My condolences to the Bartusek family. My dad (Daryl Miller) and I always enjoyed Bart and considered him a good guy and friend. He did some incredible bodywork on a few nice cars I had over the years. Bart always cared about doing quality work and cared for his customers. He will be missed by many.
