To Art & Arlyne's family, you all have the deepest sympathy of my husband Tom, me and the members of Trumbull Grange #134. We were proud have Art swear us in as Grangers 4 years ago and we were proud to serve under his term as President/Master. Unfortunately we were the last 2 people he oversaw as new members. Art was a great man and we were proud to call him our friend. After a mere 3 week separation, undoubtedly Art is again tenderly caring for Arlyne's needs in heaven. With Sympathy

Dear Val, Rick, and Families,
I want to express to you my deepest sympathy over the loss of your Dad and grandfather. Art was a wonderful guy and I know how very much he'll be missed. Unfortunately, because of the distance between where we all live, we didn't get together often enough, but the one thing I'll always remember is that wonderful smile of his. To go through the loss of both parents in three weeks time is certainly devastating to you all, but try to look back on all the good times and it will help to ease the pain of your loss. Please know that our love and prayers are with you all and we'll see you tomorrow. Love,
