I love you Uncle Don you will truely be missed. You will always be in my heart forever. Say hi to Mom and Daddy for me.
We have lost a friend,a brother,may the Blessings of Heaven rest upon his dear family and his Lodge.
We are still in shock of your passing! You were a very sweet and caring man. Love and miss you!
JoAnn, I was so very sorry to hear about Don. I will always remember the good times we had here in Paducah from him kidding me about not knowing how to put a distributor in my truck to the fun times on the RARP Project. The one thing I will remember most about Baby Boy is his willingness to give someone the last dollar he had or the shirt off his back! You and Don are some of the best people that I have ever had the priviledge of working with and we miss both of you very much down here in Paducah!

To all the Bartlett Family: Sending my sincere sympathy and prayers. Your kindness will always be remembered. God's Peace to you.

Sorry to here about your loss. Don was really a great guy and had compassion for all people. He will be sadly missed. We will remember the good times that we had here at PGDP and around Paducah.
Sorry to hear about Don. He was a great man, and will be deeply missed. We will keep you and your family in our prayers.
Jo Ann,I was truly sorry to hear of the passing of Don. I still have a penny with a cross cut in it that I keep next to my desk. Don gave me the penny some time ago one day at work. Though I can't remember the exact words he made a statement about the penny giving me luck and about Christ. I always thought of him when I would see it.God Bless You and Your Family.
Jo AnnMy condolences to you and your family. You folks are in my prayers.
Jo Ann,I am sad to hear of Don's passing. He was such a fine man. I will never forget his dry sense of humor with that mischievious twinkle in his eye. I miss working with you guys here in Paducah. I did not know he was a fellow Mason, but it does not surprise me. He was such a nice man. Take care.
