I worked with Bart on 3 south at Memorial. I will never forget him saying “Come on corndog” and “let’s go willis”, or even singing “Party in the USA” with me when we were doing karaoke. He is an awesome co-worker, he will definitely be missed by many.

Bart was a fantastic nurse and awesome co-worker. I don’t know that he knew a stranger because it only took a minute for him to treat you like his best friend after meeting you. He will be greatly missed.

Bart was one of a kind. I will miss him so much. We were neighbors and spend time together almost everyday until I moved away. He had a heart of gold. He loved Phil so much. Bart cared for his pets as family and loved every animal he saw.

I’m so sorry to hear of Bart’s passing. We shared some laughs and I was able to see the side of him that was so compassionate about animals while I owned and managed Sparta Animal Clinic. Bart was a truly caring person…his heart was so loving and giving…and the animals recognized that in him, as well. We need more people in this world to be like that. RIP, my friend.
