We are never really ready to say Good Bye but I know that Bart was an honorable, hardworking, loving family man and friend. What a way to live one's life each day.

"CONFIDENCE"

I CAN SEE HOW A IT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE FOR A MAN TO LOOK DOWN UPON THE EARTH AND BE AN ATHEIST, BUT I CANNOT CONCEIVE HOW HE COULD LOOK UP INTO THE HEAVENS AND SAY THERE IS NO GOD.

Bart was a very dear friend, and will live in my heart forever. He was always ready to offer advice, a prayer, a call, to see how Mike was feeling. His love for God and Therese, Angela, Shaun and Tim and his precious grandchildren, his parents, and siblings was first and foremost, he was so proud of them all. Bart was a rare individual with qualities most people lack.
I can't say enough good things about Bart. Working with him was a pleasure. Bart could be so serious one minute and laughing the next.
Therese, you and your family will always in my prayers and my heart. I'll always remember our trip to Cancun, spending tine with you and Bart was a one of the best part of the trip.
All my love to you and the family. Love, Judy Welborn
