George Edward Bartolomeo, a beloved resident of Blue Springs, MO, was called home by the Lord on Tuesday, September 26, 2023, at the age of 75, finding eternal peace. His final moments were spent surrounded by his loving family at St. Mary’s Medical Center in Blue Springs, MO.

Oh my sweet friend, Linda! I am so sorry for your loss. Although I never met George or you, I feel like I knew you both so well. We’ve been friends on line for over 10 years and you mean the world to me. I wish I could be there to give you a great big hug. I love you and am praying for all of you. God bless you all. ❤️🙏🏻😥
Linda, I am so sorry for your loss. George was a neat guy. Time has gone by so fast. Bless you and your family. ❤️
Lots of Love to this beautiful family. I remember when we first met you guys in 1994. I knew at that moment this was a special family.

So sorry for your loss. Uncle George was a great Uncle and cherished all the times he came to visit in Ohio to visit us on his way to visit Mom (Grandma), he made sure he always stayed driving there and back. My family will always remember great times and memories, and stories as you were The Big Brother. I’m sure you are reunited with Pappy George, Mom (Grandma), Uncle Bob, and recently My Father Joe Bartolomeo, and Nephew My Brother Joey. I’m sure greeted with open arms with all The Family came before. Dad would tell us stories of your football days, and riding bikes, playing Football, and telling us about George Sr. You will be surely missed. Aunt Linda, Corey, Jess we will make it habit to reach out more as we spoke about. Your Dad will be missed, and was Proud to call him my Uncle.
God Bless!!
Dear Linda ,
I wanted to let you know that you and your family are in my prayers. I know we only met once, but you are special and I had to let you know you’re in my thoughts. Ron couldn’t say enough about what a great guy George was and I’m sure his legacy of faith, love and kindness will live on for generations.
God Bless you,
Mary Faith
