Marge, I have tried this
several times, but with no
success. I am so sorry for
your loss. I remember "Lil'
Number 8" (Jim's name for him)
well and the excitement their
Ambrose basketball team gave
to the gals from Marycrest.
I am sure that Jim was there
to welcome him and enjoy talk
of old times. My sympathy -

To the Dart Family

Please accept our condolances and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. I will always be thankful for the support and advice Mr Dart gave me over the years, I always admired his demeaner and soft spoken presence, a man of few words but his words carried great substance and were genuine. He will certainly be missed, but never forgotten. Billy- your around the clock care and dignified compassion you showed your dad these last few years truly show what a great son and person you are, may all your memories be good ones.

My condolence to the Dart family.
It was joy watching and writing about Bill
in the Sports Column for the Ambrosia News.He was the head of that "full court press":.. Bill lived his life with the same determination,skill and class that made him a legend
at St. Ambrose.
We have lost a great Ambrosian.

To Kathy and the Dart Family, please accept my sincere condolences. I always had great respect for your Dad. He was a great gentlemen, lawyer and you were right to use the word "mentor" in the notice. He was always generous with his time in dealing with younger and less experienced lawyers; like myself.

My sympathy to the Dart Family. Kathy, I have some memory of you father when I was in the Assessor's Office. A very nice man and anyone who was a friend of Dan Mallette has to be a very special Catholic. Now I wish I knew him better.

To the Dart Family,
I had the pleasure of knowing Bill because of his taking golf lessons from my father Zigfield Troy.
Although I hadn't seen him in many years, I will always remember his positive outlook and his gracious ways.
He really enjoyed getting out to the golf range and working on his game.
I am saddened by his passing and for your loss.
Christ's peace and strength to you all.
