"Joe will always be remembered in the hearts of all whom he had touched. There are hundreds of people out there wishing he could be here with us. Rest In Paradise."

"My sincere condolences to the Bartodziej family. It was my honor to briefly get back into contact with Joe after many years from Kedzie Ave. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
"

"The thoughts and prayers of my family go out to yours during this difficult time. Mr. B was a nice man and both of my children enjoyed having him as a teacher at Iroquois. We know he fought his illness bravely but are relieved that he is no longer suffering. He will always be remembered with fondness. May your memories bring you comfort in the days and years to come."
