Oh how I will miss Bart's big smile and booming voice. He cheered me every time I came on stage, no matter how small the part. Bart always started the standing ovation and clapped the loudest. He was always ready to donate a few dollars to help out students see a show and made sure the opening night spread was plentiful. Enjoy your wings Angel Bart. Love, Mary

Our entire theatre family will miss this wonderful man. He made every person he met feel special and appreciated. He was our biggest cheer leader and gave every performer his beautiful smile and generous applause. When Bart was in the house, you knew that there was going to be extra energy and excitement for everybody. Good bye, our sweet friend. Thank you for the sweet memories. Heaven is fortunate to have you.

I am very sorry to hear of Mr. Barton's passing. He has a been a great friend to my father, and especially over the past several years.. I know my father and the guys will miss him at the weekly card night. He was larger than life but with a kind heart and never met a stranger. He will be sorely missed.

Bart, was a very dear friend of mine, and one of my sisters, Nancy Williamson. They dated for the last ten years, When the three of us were together we had the best of times. His humor and jokes were always entertaining. He will be missed very much.

Bart was a dear friend. So many times he would stop by the theatre (Beaumont Community Players) simply to ask if we needed something from the store or if we wanted him to go grab us some lunch. Often he would bring us cookies from the casino. He gave generously to help buy show tickets for students, supported our KIDmunity program by sponsoring students, and when his health allowed him he would be at almost every performance (if he really enjoyed the show.) Bart loved coming to "opening night" and helped with the expense of our hospitality table. Nearly every opening night he would call and ask if I was making boudin dip - that seemed to be his favorite. You always knew when Bart was in the house! He was a great, encouraging audience member and participant. Bart will be truly missed.

Bart was one of the first people I met when I moved into the Holland house on Stratton Lane. He was the sweetest man I had ever met. I always felt like he kept an eye on everyone in the neighborhood. He was sooooo proud of the theatre group and all the shows. He will be missed. It won't be the same without seeing him driving around in his truck every day.. My condolences to you all. I lost my Dad in 2010 and my Mom followed in 2011.. It is so hard, But I know he will be watching over you all. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you. Jenny

Dear Bart (II), I just wanted to say I am sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I remember going to your house and playing his Herb Alpert records. Prayers are with you and your family.

In 1972, when I was 9 years of age, my family moved to Beaumont, Texas, and next door to Carl Barton and his family. For the next 37 years, my family lived next door to Mr. and Mrs. Barton and their four children. From the beginning the Bartons were warm, welcoming and became great neighbors and friends. Mr. Barton was engaged, kind and considerate to the numerous children who grew up with his children in the Stratton Circle cul de sac. One really cool memory which I will never forget was during my college years at Lamar University. During those hot Beaumont days, Carl Barton and I golfed together quite often. Mr. Barton was significant in teaching me the golf swing (and we all know how important our golf swing is, right?). We shared great times and memories on the golf course. Anyway, to his children, this much is true: Carl Barton made a positive impact and difference in peoples' lives. Please know you are not alone now and in the time to come during this period of grief and letting go.

My sincere condolences to the family at this difficult time. May you all seek God for comfort, peace, strength and support (2 Cor 1:3).
