Throughout the years as breezes
flow
Your music fills a
morning's glow
With echoes of the days of past
These tender moments always last

Your heart defined in every key
That brings a memory constantly
I see you at your finest day
Your music never fades away

In every season that we shared
Your laugher always filled the
air
You were more than you could be
We
heard it in those tender keys

The music now has never ended
For all in life you have
attended
Playing songs as years have past
Taught by you with love that
lasts

And so it is upon this day
This tribute in a special way
For all you gave in life we
share
The memories are always there

I look back and feel the pride
Of what you gave in every stride
The words you said that I
believe
You must practice to succeed

Music comes in many forms
Through life it helps in every
storm
You were the teacher of these
dreams
Upon your ivory blessed keys

Your music it shall never die
It fills the heart with special
sighs
For I hear the songs you played
Perhaps the reason it has stayed

Thank you for the gift of giving
All the beauty that's worth
living
Tender sounds a means of sharing
What the heart reveals in
caring.

William
Bartos, an accomplished concert
pianist and teacher
was the
father that was there for me all
my life. My Mom's
second
marriage and our true experience
of what a
father
should be. I wanted to do a
special page for him
although he is gone from our
lives for quite some time, he
still
lives on forever in the hearts
of many.
His
son, my brother Greg is also an
accomplished musician
and has
brought many happy days into our
life. He is also an
excellent singer and has
accomplished much in life
because
of the
ability to care about the music
in life and that he
learned
from "our" father. So a tribute
to a man of
many
talents and a special note to my
brother Greg
who
carries on in a special way the
talent that he
shares
so willingly with all of us.
Thank you for being there for caring and for sharing
your special life and your wonderful laughter.
Love you Always Pops
Franny

And a most special "I Love You" to my brother
Greg who has filled our life with love and
sunshine all the days of our life. You are very
special to me Greg and I know how much our
Lorraine loved you too. As Bill would say
"you're doing fine Butch.
Love Frolicking Fran
Love you Always
Franny
