Ricky Bartko Funeral Fund

Everyone who knew my dad, Ricky Bartko knows he was a fun loving, kind hearted guy who brought smiles to everyone's faces. He was liked by everyone who knew him. He fought a very difficult battle since the day he was diagnosed with lung cancer and fought so very hard until his last breath. He conquered 2 rounds of cancer treatments, open heart surgery, many infections, chest tube insertions and a tremendous amount of discomfort. He made it through times even his doctors don't understand. He lost his battle last evening surrounded by his children and girlfriend. This illness has not only caused emotionally and physically hardship but has been financially straining as well. Any monetary donations to help lay him to rest would be greatly appreciated by his family.
