Michelle and Family, I had the pleasure of working with Bart over the course of a number of years on the Endowment Committee at St. Joes. He was a wonderful fellow who gave great effort in service of church and others. During the time we worked together, he always sported a smile and that is the memory of him that I will have in the future. His initiative and service were examples to all of us who knew him. My deepest condolences to you in this difficult time and please know that his life made a difference to all who knew him.

All my best

We will always remember Bart as a member of St. Joseph Parish who shared his time and talent with St. Joe's, St. Anne Salvatorian Campus, the Sisters of Divine Savior. Many people were blessed to have known him.

Michelle and Family,
We send you our love and prayers!
Bart was a remarkable man--and I know there will not be a day that goes by that we won't think of him and miss him. And we fully realize that this is true a million times more for you. You were his soul mate. He was so proud to be your husband and father to Marie, Brett and Brad. No matter how generously he gave his time to St. Anne's, the Salvatorian Sisters, the Boy Scouts, his church; everyone always knew his priorities were his love for his Savior, for you and his family! If you need anything, just call. We will pray for your comfort and peace every single day because we love you too! Lynn and your St. Anne's Family

We mourn the loss of a long-time friend and associate. Bart was a MAJOR contributor to his profession, community and parish. We will all miss Bart's wit, his common sense approach, and his continuing honesty and ethics. God called Bart home, and will likely have Bart intervene in the oversight and management of the Saints.

Our deepest condolences to the loved ones of Bart Adams. Bart was a champion for improving his community. He was someone who was always willing to invest in making things better. And he was completely unconcerned with whether he received credit for his good works.

He was a teacher, a mentor, and a friend. He will be deeply missed.
