Help the Bartol family in their time of need

Dear friends, family, and compassionate souls,

It’s with a heavy heart that we inform you Howard Bartol (48), a loving husband and father of two wonderful children (16yrs and 14yrs) suddenly passed away the morning of June 7th 2023. He was the embodiment of a loving, involved father and husband. To all who knew him, his kindness, humor, and authenticity will always be remembered and cherished. I cannot begin to fathom the pain and anguish his family is experiencing.

We have set up this GoFundMe campaign to offer support during this incredibly challenging time. Howard was the main financial provider, and was denied external life insurance due to his preexisting heart condition. Along with this, the high cost of living on the east coast and the unspeakable grief of losing a father/husband so suddenly, his family needs our help.

The funds raised will go towards covering funeral costs and will help alleviate the burden of day-to-day expenses until they can get their feet back under them. Every contribution, no matter how big or small, will make a significant difference. By joining hands, we can provide them with the financial assistance they need, allowing them to focus on healing and finding solace in their grief.

For all who can, please leave a special memory of Howard in the comments to be shared with his children.
