I am
Saddened by his lost. I was a prosecutor in his division in Florida. He was one of the smartest persons I have ever known.

My deepest sympathies. Bart was a bright light around City Hall, City of Overland Park. I would stop by his office occasionally, Bart had a twinkle in his eye and always made time to talk. Heartfelt condolences.
