My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. I met Art and Carol Ann at Trails End at Mrs Davis' house on Lake Travis prior to Art and Carol Ann getting married. Great memories fo a nice couple.

My sincere condolences to the Larson family. I first met Art when I was living with Patrick in San Marcos. I'll always remember how funny and friendly he was. Fast forward to this past February and I am up in Austin for a rare visit. I stop to eat at my old haunt, Dan's Hamburgers, and in walks Art with Scott and Robin. It was so good to see him again after all those years. There are no coincidences, I believe God gave me a blessing that day. I'll always remember the smile on his face.
