Art was instrumental in me staying with P&G in sales in 1964.
I went to Art and asked him to transfer me to an administrative position with P&G. He told me to stick with the selling because he thought I had the tools to be successful in sales. He later got me promoted and I stayed with P&G for 16 years.
Thanks Art for your guidance and evaluation.

Jean and I are so glad to have had the two of you in our life. Art has been telling me to "Keep the Faith" for 43 years. Today I have faith he is in a good place. Art was very important in the development of many young peoples business skills and integrity. It has been passed on to a few generations. His leadership in local politics and the club were also examples to everyone. We have all lost a really good guy.

Shirley, Becky & Family, We are so sorry to hear this - you have our sympothy. We were fortunate to get to know Art this year, what a wonderful guy!

I was very sorry to hear of Art's passing. I was fortunate to have worked with him at P&G in the 80's. Art always went out of his way to be helpful to me. He was a professional in every sense. I'm sure he will be missed greatly by his loved ones. Know that he touched many lives along the way. God bless you all.

Shirley and family:
I am sadden to hear that Art has passed away. He led a wonderful life and I remember him from my days with P&G when I was a Unit sales manager and how he helped me grow in the business world. I know it's been over 50 yrs since I last saw him but I have thought of him and you often. I'm sure God is taken care of him now! My prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Shirley and Family,
I am truly saddened to hear of Art's passing. I worked with him at P&G for several years in St. Louis during the 80's. He was one of the finest, honorable, charitable, and classiest of individuals I have ever known. I am truly better off for having had the opportunity to know him. God Bless you and your wonderful family.
