Dad, I miss you, but am so glad I was able to get to know the side of you I have always longed to know. The gentle, funny, and innocent side. You taught me that actions speak louder than words and how important family is! I know now you love me and am proud of me and I love you and am so proud of you! your daughter always, Lee Anne

You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Art was my boss at Tiot Engineering and helped me with my career as a structural engineer and with my education at Northeastern University, co-oping with Ed LeNormand. I am a retired P.E. (Civil & Structural) now. His knowledge and steady hand at the helm was invaluable in my early days. May God Bless you and may God give Art a special room in His mansion.

I am so sorry about your dad. It sure has been a rough month for a lot of us. I know you will miss him, but you hopefully have many happy memories to cherish and hold near and dear. Take it one day at a time. You are strong, you can do it.
Love,
Tara
