He created Bartlett Auto Body shop after he came home from the War. He graduated with a Bachelor of Business from Xavier University, Class of 1952. He became a Supervisor for Aetna Life and Casualty all the while operating small businesses including convenience stores in Covington and Bellevue. He truly taught us the value of hard work.
