Arthur Newton "Newt" Bartley

Sending my condolences to the family. May God give you strength and peace. Isaiah 61:1

I worked for Newt at Tenneco in the 1980's. He was my mentor whether he knew it or not. I learned how to write a formal business letter from reading his. I could never master the way he could personalize each one no matter how important or trivial - not to mention his impeccable use of the English language. When Newt walked in the room you knew experience and class just walked in with him. He could make a lowly beginner like me feel at ease while he could stand toe to toe with the big boys - usually teaching them something along the way. I even copied the way he dressed - he always looked just a tad better than his peers. I realized that if I wanted to be like Newt I was gonna have to act better, look better and know more than my competition. Yet, for all his stature he was an extremely nice guy - never intimidating - even when I had messed up royally. He would simply pat you on the back and say "We'll get em next time" then smile and give you one of those laughs which were so uniquely Newt. A great man and a huge loss. My blessings go out to his family.

Sending my condolences to the family. May God give you strength and peace during this difficult time. (Psalm 29:11)

Big Newt, you were delightful to be with - cheerful, comforting, accepting. I am grateful to have known you and the family you and Mimi reared. Loved being with you - best Thanksgiving ever.

May the bereaved family be comforted by looking forward to Jesus' promise of seeing your dear loved one again. John 6:40.

Newt -- so sorry to hear of your father's passing...i remember many good times at Tennwood w/all of y'all.

Losing a loved one is never easy, but our loving god promises to give the strength and courage you'll need to endure, and to cope with the pain of your loss. He also promises to hold your hand every step of the way. (Isaiah 40:29, 41:10, 13)

I loved hearing all the stories about Big Newt over the past few years of being friends with Jen. Sending love to the family he has left behind.

Rest In Peace Mr Bartley. I have so many precious memories of days and nights with your wonderful family growing up. You leave a beautiful legacy in your children and grandchildren.

Love you Dad. You were the best. Newton II
