Joy & Barbara, I am so sorry for your loss of a loving husband and father. I remember Art as a nice jolly man. Although, many years have passed since I've seen the three of you my memory will always be of a close happy family. I send my love and thoughts to you both. Love, Tracy

Barbara and Joy,
I was so sorry to hear about Arthur. He was a fine man and such a good friend to my Mom Joanne and Jerry. As I sit here writing this I am brought back to the day I saw you and Arthur at Grumpy's. It was a beautiful day and you both were going to make the most of it. I hope your wonderful memories comfort you through this difficult time.
Love Kristen
