Bart was part of my family's life from early 70's until his passing. Up until last week he would talk on the phone with my mother Donna almost on a daily basis. She will miss his calls. Lots of high school memories & always aware of Barts life through my mothers conversations with him. Just got off the phone with one of my best friends & Barts, Frank Bonacorso. He lives in England now & we talked & laughed thinking about great old memories of Bart. We both send our condolences to the family. It would take to long to tell the stories we talked about, but they will be always in our mind. Thanks Bart

Catherine and Michael,
You and your family have my hart felt condolences. Bart was a good Brother and Room Mate in the early 70’s. We had a great time. We would wakeup and step over people in order to go to work. When we got home, the food and beer was gone brother. All night with Bumpy Action and the gang, there were fast cars, fast bikes, fast lives. Man we had fun! I remember Bart having supper with my crazy Irish family. My Mom, Dad and 6 Kids Bart was the 7th. When he was in Omaha he would occasionally stop in and see My Mom and Dad. They always liked seeing Bart. He was Special. We had not seen each other in years but whenever we talk he would say, Fred Shannon! How are you doing man! And you could feel his smile. It was always nice…..
My Prayers and Thoughts are with you my Brother. Peace.

I've known Bart since High School and although I hadn't talked to him in a few years always kept up with him through mutual friends. Bart was always quick with a smile and all around good guy. I was very sorry to hear the sad news. I will always remember him as a good friend and great guy.
