I keep replaying one of the best laughs I ever experienced -- Art was describing a Buster Keaton clip and before he could even finish we were both in tears laughing so hard. I cherish this memory and can't help but begin to smile just thinking of it. I have really looked up to Dorleau and Art, and am so saddened by his passing. My kids are going to miss "the big guy" too.

I had no idea that Art passed away until last night when I happened to be looking at a rather old edition of the Tribune. Dorleau, I am so sorry to learn of his passing. Art was always kind and warm to both of my children and me - and believe me, we appreciated it. You both came to their school shows and demonstrated your interest in their activities as though they were your own grandchildren. Art was a wonderful guy and we will miss him. We pray for your strength during this very difficult time.

I just heard the sad news. My condolences to Dorleau and all of his family. I will always remember Art for his warmth and interest in me and my son. He was the kind of person that everyone loved, and I will miss him greatly.
