He loved his four children: Artie (Julie), Sheri Jarmolowicz (Aaron), Jeff (Mitze), and Steve. He adored his seven granddaughters: Kayley, Lauren, Ashley, Olivia, Mariella, Vanessa, and Elianna.

Our thoughts, condolences, and prayers go out to the Sider family at this sad and difficult time. I remember Art as a great soccer coach of the Carpetowne Rowdies when Jeff and I were teammates and Artie was always there to help with practices at 8th and Bacon. Art was a class act and I am a better person to have had him in my life for that summer when we were kids. GOD bless and keep you guys and here's to the day when we will all see Art again! Take care. The Kevin Lombard family.
