DR. H. ROE BARTLE

Southerner by birth, lawyer by training, youth movement executive by desire, banker by avocation, cattleman by hobby, politician by conviction, public speaker by demand, and humanitarian by choice – all might be included in a summary of the life of H. Roe Bartle of Kansas City, Missouri. There was a magic to Bartle. He filled the room with more than his legendary girth. He swept up throngs in the power of his voice, the majesty of his language, the sparkle of his humor, the buoyancy of his spirit, and the audacity of his courage. Mr., Dr., Mayor, Honorable – all are titles used to identify H. Roe Bartle, but to the brothers of Alpha Phi Omega, he will always be “The Chief”. Passed away May 9, 1974.
