Seven years since Art "graduated" . . . hard to believe. When his smiling face appeared on my computer this morning, warm and happy memories flooded my brain. My friend was smart and witty. I am fortunate he was my friend. Oh the stories!

My friend Art. Always positive, always available, always with an answer to even the most complex of questions. I will miss our spontaneous calls with a joke or great business idea . . . no matter the time of day or night. Born four days apart, we were in many ways twins in spirit and thought. He loved his friends and especially loved and appreciated his Eloise. Rest well my friend.
