In the 1980s, I visited Robert and Sharon´s home in Alexandria with a friend of mine, Bruce Seippel. They all enjoyed collecting antiques, and it was always intriguing to sit around their kitchen discussing their new finds. I helped them design and install a fountain for their back courtyard. Robert was a pleasure to work with and the most kind and knowledgeable person I had ever met. It is with sadness that I learn of his passing.

Hello,
This is Lukasz Pinkowski (son of Andrzej Pinkowski)
I'm trying to get in touch with Loray Gordon.
I have a memoir which Col Robert Bartos wrote and asked me to work on for a few years. Col. Bartos and I never finished due to his passing.
I was curious if you had any desire to continue this and possibly put it to print.
It is a great story and a great legacy to a man I still call my friend.
if this message finds you Lorey please reach out if you would be interested in continuing this project.

Bob Bartos and I spent an academic year together at the Army's Detachment R in Bavaria, 1961-62. We were good friends and I am very sorry to know that he has passed on. My deepest condolences to his family.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Please find peace and comfort in knowing God cares for you and will help you in your time of need. Jeremiah 29:12 "you will call me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you."
