I worked with Art for many years at BFG, UGTC, and finally Michelin. Art's solutions to business problems usually involved unique solutions. A great guy, very intelligent, with a great sense of humor. I was proud to call him a friend.
I know he will be missed by all of us. Please accept my deepest sympathies.
