I enjoyed visiting and talking to Art when I lived in the neighborhood. He's one of the few people I still kept in constant touch with when I moved. I will miss our weekend phone calls where he would tell me all about what's still going on in the area and comparing gas prices and weather. He's one of the most special people I've met - I wish his family strength and comfort.

25+ years ago I drove through the neighborhood daily to our daycare. We always waved at 'the man'. I only found out his name about 3 years ago in a conversation with one of his neighbors. Thank you Mr. Wall for your friendly face, always waving and putting a smile on our faces. Heaven has gained another angel to smile and send waves to many below.

Thank you, Mr. Wall, for making my family feel welcome the short time we've been living in Lafayette by smiling and waving each and every time we'd drive by your home. May we all remember how such small, sweet acts can change the world. Rest in peace.

We live on the same street and always waved to him when we went by. He will be missed by the neighborhood greatly.

I didn't know Art personally but always a wave and a smile. He didn't know how many times he put a smile on my face.

Although we did not know Art personally, during the years my mother lived in the same neighborhood (over 30 years), he would wave at us and our children when we visited! Sanders' family from Indianapolis
