Not sure what to say?

I participated in the First Congregational Church's community Thanksgiving today and was concerned when Art didn't pop in for some food and our annual hug. He always cooked the night before for the church. I'm sad to learn of his passing and impressed by all that he did during his time on this earth. The world is a sadder place without you Art, and I will miss my annual BS session and hug. RIP

I was saddened to read about Art's passing today and enlightened to read of his accomplishments. I knew "Mr. Glowka" from the Laurel Ledge neighborhood and have fond memories of watching movies of hot air ballooning at his home with Lyle and Paul and thinking how cool was he? God bless.

With very fond memories of happy times shared in Laurel Ledge. My deepest sympathy to the family.
Fondly, Tricia Cook, Stamford, CT

Art's greatest legacy is the passion he instilled in his son, Lyle, for biodiversity issues and environmental protection. May his family seek solace in the memory of such a remarkable man.

I did not know Art and am glad I stumbled on his obituary. I am humbled, grateful, and inspired by his commitment. Thank you.

He'll be remembered in my prayers. Joe Garibaldi of the old Stamford Striper Club. Tight lines Art.

Thank you for your service to our country.
A grateful American

I am so sorry for your loss. I know losing a loved one is hard to go through, I will keep you in my prayers. May you draw close to God at this time.

We who are at Riverkeeper today owe everything to Art. May his family find strength in one another and comfort in the beauty of his achievements.
