Shortly after graduating from Wyandotte High School, Gerald enlisted in the United States Army and served for three years.

Unrein and they were joined in marriage on February 8, 1969. Together they were blessed with a daughter, Laura. Gerald was a faithful catholic and member of Coronation of Our Lady Parish in Grandview, Missouri. He had a passion for hunting and fine woodworking, building many of the furniture pieces in his home and in the home of his daughter and son-in-law. He loved being present with his grandkids at all of their sports, musical performances, and activities.
Gerald was preceded in death by his parents, Leo and Mary Bartkoski; and his wife and best friend of fifty years, Armella M. Bartkoski.
He is survived by his devoted daughter, Laura M. Brown (Doug) and five grandchildren, Anna, Molly, Cooper, Gemma, and Bridgett Brown. He is also survived by his brother, Robert Bartkoski (Linda) and many nieces and nephews.

I worked with him for many years and went on many hunting trips with him. Bart, as those of us that worked with him knew him, was a great guy and always fully dedicated himself to whatever he was doing. He was one the really good guys.
