My greatest memory of Art was when he came to our house with lights flashing and took Terry out in handcuffs. Our neighbors were shocked. (He brought him back about 15 minutes later).That was typical of Art's humor. My deepest sympathies.

My friend Art, close as a brother, an immediate close friendship from the first day we met as policemen, we enjoyed our golf , going out to dinner and visiting one another between the states. He was my best friend and I will truly miss him. He will forever be in my thoughts. Your loss is my loss. Max F. Durachta

Teri, I know you know how special I thought your dad was. I am so very sorry for your loss. I wish we lived close enough to each other that we could have a cup of coffee and talk like we used to a long time ago.
Love, Jean
