Dear Alice and Family - I am so sorry to hear that Art is no longer on this earth. I have lots of great and funny memories of him. He was a very special guy in many ways.

I did not have the pleasure of knowing Arthur for many years, but from the minute I met him he touched my heart in a way many never do. He had a way of speaking right to your soul with a humor that was God blessed. He lit up the room whenever he was present. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time, and I know that Arthur is up there sitting in heaven watching over all of us, probably playing cards, probably cursing at us as only he could do. Take comfort in the fact that we now have a wonderful angel watching out for us, who will be there to greet us when it is our turn to go home to the Lord. God bless all of you. Lynn

Dear Alice(a.k.a) Mom

It will be the little things
that we will remember,
the quiet moments,
the smiles, the laughter.
And although it may seem
hard right now,
it will be the memories
of these little things
that help to push
away the pain
and bring the smiles
back again.

Love Ya Mom,
Little Alice

Alice:
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Art truly was such a kind and gentle man. Who loved and touched so many, so quickly, and so quietly. This guest book, his wake, and funeral were certainly a testament of how many people he touched.

May God grant him peace, and you understanding. My prayers are with all of the Hall family.

To the Hall family:
I'm really stunned about the lost of Art. I remember when I first met him as a little boy and my mom said, " This is Aurthur Hall and he drives a race car and is deaf like you" But as time went along and I got older, I got to know Art very well and hung out with him from time to time..He was always there for every person that he cared about and had a wonderful sense of humor .My prayers and thoughts are with you, Alice and all of Art's family and friends.

Art touched so many lives and I'm glad that he was a part of my life..may you rest in peace now, Art...

My sympathy and prayers go out to Art's family. I knew Art growing up in Danielson and the Dayville area and when he raced at Thompson when I use to work in my friends pit crew. Art alwas amazed me on how he could let you know what was wrong with your car by laying his hand on the engine and feeling the way the engine would run poorly. He was a very gentle caring person. He will be missed greatly. He was a true gentleman.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your family member and loved one, especially "Baby Arthur" who was such a unique kind of a person. He will always be loved and talked about in a wonderful way by many people. I know that whole Hall family gave me a lot of wonderful childhood/teenage moments to remember for the rest of my life....If it weren't for Art and Alice those memories would never be there. I love you all, I hope you all find the peace & comfort you need to get through this. I know we all have our own way of grieving, but I think if you all hang together as a family as you always have, that is the best medicine. My thoughts and prayers are with you through this difficult time, I'm so sorry again. I will keep him in mind during the Ice breaker 2008 as I speak to a lot of his past competitors, I will burn a candle for him all weekend there in memory of Arthur. "What a wonderful man!"
