My condolences to Rose and all those fascinating children I so enjoyed teaching! What a creative family. Blessings as you treasure your memories of a very creative husband, father, and grandfather.
I remember Mr. Bartel as a principal that cared about his students. He was firm but compassionate, understanding and kind. My condolences to the Bartel family.

My condolences to the family of Mr Bartel as I knew him in Kleefeld School. I have fond memories of him teaching - going above and beyond in his role as teacher. My most fond memory is him having his guitar in class (on many occasions) and playing and singing from the country gospel hymnal. I even told my mom that I needed one of those spiral bound hymnals that Mr Bartel sang from. He taught his students in a meaningful way and left a lasting impression on me. Thanks for that.
My sincere condolences to Rose and Family on your loss. I pray that memories of happier times will see you through your time of grief! "God gave us memory so we might enjoy roses in winter."
