Condolences to the family of Mr. Bartholomew.  I heard so many great things about him but did not have the honor to meet him.  As he was used greatly in the kingdom, God is using him greatly in heaven... still praying love Djuan and Tangela Joseph

Bill, I know you in heaven , but I also know that your spirit can hear my heart. All the years that I've known you, I've admired you. Your deep knowlege of the Word and how you could teach it and help people understand it, was wonderful. Your kindness, your smile, even if you were hurting, and that big hug that came with a mountain of encouragement, will be missed so very much. I adored you, friend. And still do your Family.
Brenda and Family, you are precious to me and Morgan. If there's anything we can do for you, please let us know. I know everyone says that, but, down the road a piece, you might think of something.
Love and prayers to all,
Shari and Morgan Middleton.

May the Lord comfort you all during this sad time. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I went to summer school before my senior year to take Government and economics early.Mr. Bartholomew was my summer school teacher.He made summer school fun and learning fun.I probably would not have gotten thru that class with out a teacher like him.He never forgot my name and would always speak when our paths crossed.He was one teacher that made a good impression on me,and all the members of that summer school class.I'm sure it was that way with every one who knew him.My thoughts and prayers are with his family during your time of mourning.Heaven has acquired a wonderful spirit in Bill Bartholomew,and we were better for knowing him.

Prayers for all of you during this time.  It's been a long time since Mason Drive but oh my what great memories we all have!!  Daddy Bill will be greatly missed!!!  
Love to you all!!!

Sending lots of love to this precious family. Bro. Bill loved to make people smile. I have lots of memories that will continue to make me smile. Holding you all up in prayer. God is the God of all comforts. His Grace IS enough.

I always loved my uncle bill. He was always fun to be around. He was my fathers brother inlaw and he was proud that my aunt brenda had a husband that loved her and cared for her so much. My uncle was the same good man every time i was with him no matter where we were or who we were with. I am Lucky to have known him 47 years and i only have good memories of him every time i picture his face or hear his voice. I love you all and i will see you soon.

Jill, miss Brenda, so sorry for your loss I love Mr Bill and all of you as well, God will give you the guidance you guys need your in our prayers

My prayers to the entire family. I'll always remember your glorious smile and laugh.

We never had the pleasure of meeting Bill, but if his son, Scott, was a chip of the ol' block, what a good man he was.  May God's rich love reside over the whole family.

Thoughts and prayers going out to  Brenda, Scott, Jill, and Brooke, and families. Bill will be missed. Everytime I saw him he always had a question or comment to make you go hmmmm. Remember the old days at Uncle Grad and Aunt Gin's. Miss those days. SO sorry for your loss.

As my sister Jan said Bill was a funny man....I remember his humor was kind of a dry humor and sometimes he just "got you" before you knew it......our cousin Brenda was very fortunate to have him in her life and raise a beautiful family....he will be missed by all of you but take comfort in knowing he is with his Lord now and is one special angel and in no more pain....God bless all of you...you are in our prayers

I remember Bill when I was growing up and he was always such a funny man.  I know he is going to be missed.  Thought and prayers are with the family.
