John David Bartholf

Ever fond memories of a young man (>55 years ago) full of life.

Friends with Johnny since sixth grade in Green Cove Springs, Florida, he was a great person, fun loving and caring. My husband and I went to Oregon to visit with him some years back. Kim, your dad will be surely missed, but fond memories help the ache of his loss. Deepest condolences to you and your family. May God give you comfort.

My blessings and thoughts go out to the family of this wonderful man, John. I knew him in his younger years. He was a senior in high school and my first love (platonic) in high school. I knew him as Johnny, we dated for his senior year then he went on to college and we parted company sadly. I have never forgotten him. Ironically I was just looking at the scrap book of the year we had together, the one item from high school I have not thrown away. He was an awesome person then and it looks like he became even more awesome. I wish I could have know the man he became. To the family, I am sorry for your loss. I know my sorrow but can only imagine yours. May you find support in one another and, if you believe, in God.
