Mr. Bartosiak was a wonderful man from the Greatest Generation. He was always very nice to us when we were hanging out with Gail--and I'm sure we were chatterboxes. He is now reunited with his beloved Ann and has rest from his long and rewarding life with a family whom he loved and was proud of. Rest in peace. Sister Chris Cosgrove, OP

Dear Gail and family, my sympathy to all of you. I remember a happy, smiling grandpa always so proud of his girls whenever he came to school for anything. He always had time to greet everyone and made our day better. God bless you all as you work through these difficult days.
