What a wonderful man, husband and father. I grew up in a neighborhood where Art was highly respected and liked. Feared sometimes too :) He was a wonderful coach who took the time to help a lot of young people. He and Cornelia were very special to all of us.

So sorry to hear of Artie's passing. He was a dear friend and classmate of my Dad's (Tom Raleigh) and I loved hearing stories of their antics at Andover. On my trips to Naples to visit my Mom we would always make sure to walk the beach and find your Dad and chat.
He will be missed by so many ...
Love to all of you.

When your parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in Bermuda with you all, I was their travel agent. Would see your dad a lot over the years, Captain Marden's, Roche Brothers and the pool at Wellesley Green where I would be a guest of a resident. We always chatted and he would tell me what you were all doing and about Florida and Drake's Island. I always enjoyed talking to him and admired his dapperness. And, he was never without a tan. I will miss him. Wish you peace at this time of sadness. Cyetta McCormick

Lenny and Artie, Consider me a voice from the Notre Dame side wishing comfort to your entire family. I suspect the service will celebrate a life very well lived. I remember your father visiting at Notre Dame and my sense is that while he was officially a Yale man, he was certainly a Notre Dame man too. He leaves an obvious legacy. God Bless

What a guy, and what a zestful and joyous life! He loved God,country,family and Notre Dame.

His life was marked by affability, kindness, a love of liberty and Christian voluntary charity towards all. We enjoyed his trips to see his kids at ND and St. Mary's College for hockey and football games.

We chatted about his baseball days at Yale with President Bush #41, their appearance in the college World Series, and Art's days in the MLB minor league system. And who can forget Art waking his sons up at sunrise to make them pull weeds after they engaged in excessive liquid libations the night before? His road trip to Kent State was another classic tale.

In our Catholic tradition, we pray for Art's soul, and those of his family.

Artie ate and slept Andover, to which he gave a great deal of his time. Artie was a great athlete and a great friend. I am proud to have been his classmate.
