Our hearts are breaking for you. AlRoy has been a pillar in our community for as long as we can recall – such a great mentor and friend. The BEST neighbor. The entire Barthel family is in our prayers.
To the Barthel family; I’m so sorry for the loss of Alroy. I’ve worked at the front desk of the Allina Clinic for years and always enjoyed seeing him in the clinic. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Betty and family; Remembering the great times we had with Alroy and the Albertville Bar team. Prayers for all of you. God Bless each of you at this time and always.
Betty, Patti, John, and all the family; We are so sorry for your loss. We will miss Alroy and all the fun we had playing cards together! Know of all our continued prayers for all of you. Love, Steve & Chris
Alroy brings back good memories of the past for me. I first met him as a friend of my Mom & Dad’s
and as my Grandpa Ben and Grandma Pauline’s neighbor. I know everyone will miss him but his old friends will be greeting him in paradise. Love and sympathy to you all especially his beautiful wife Betty!
