He was iconic to this City and to his family.
Known for being a strong friend, Bart displayed his love of life to everyone who had value, at least to him.
His retelling of the first time he saw Dave Kirchner was a joy and he had many other stories of mirth to add to that one.
He felt so strongly about this community, that he challenged himself to take co-ownership of the last 'watering hole' in town, so it would not be lost or forgotten, yet his unsurety in his placement in that business, gave him unease until he was able to just become another customer.
Well remembered and not forgotten, Bart will be the man that I well remember for his friendship.
