God Bless you Bartholomew family. My prayers are with you. I remember Uncle Don's towering presence, intelligence and hilarious sense of humor. I have very fond memories of my Aunt and Uncle from Indiana. They would come and visit our family during the holidays and after retirement they traveled together. Uncle Don was a wonderful man and he will be missed by many.

I am so sorry to hear of Don passing away. I have been trying to get ahold of Alice but they only take a message. Don was a great guy, he married Alice and had their family. Alice is my second cousin, we played together when we were children. They had a wonderful marriage. My prayers are with the family.
