William (Bill) Bartke (9 Apr 1950 - 25 Jan 2022)

I worked with Bill at SRC in Fordneuk St in Bridgeton. I was just a young boy and Bill always seemed to have a wonder knowledge of music and the arts. A wonderfully pleasant man who always had a nice word to say about everyone. I lost touch when I left Strathclyde Regional Council and made my way to WOSWA. Bill left a positive impression on me and whilst we didn't always agree on everything he was a true gentleman.

Didn’t know that Bill had passed away.I knew that he had lost a lot of weight through Lyme disease.I noticed that his landline was disconnected.I checked the website called’ Scotland’s People’ where you can put a name into a search engine and find if they have passed on.Found out through the website.Will miss him as he was a real character.All the best to family.Best Wishes, Eddie.

Hey, I just found out about Bill today. Bill and my mum were late best pals, they met late in life, at uni pesuing their love of art. They loved each other. They laughed like feck together. I never saw anyone put a smile on mums face like Bill. Much love from me and Smudge da Cat xxx

So sorry to hear of Willie’s passing. He was a true gent. Loved our movie and music chats. Much love to his family and friends. Trish

So sorry and saddened to hear of the loss of Willie, an ex work colleague from Autela days and a very good friend. Will always remember Willie with the fondest memories. May he rest in peace.
