Not sure what to say?

Wow. Ed Mosley just told me that Art had passed...I am stunned, had no idea. What a great guy, a dear friend when I was in Atlanta.
There are no words...xx Gayle Clark

Art was truly one of a kind. He was industrious, inquisitive, supportive, and one great reporter. I had the privilege of having art lecture at one of my seminars and he knocked it out of the park. May his memory be a blessing

Art was a blessing and gift to this world, and certainly to my life. I was fortunate to have had a special friendship with Art for nearly 70 years. A childhood friendship that deepened over the decades. The most genuine, caring, loving, person. I am grateful that he was my friend. You will always be missed. Healing prayers and love to Carol and all of Art's family. .

So saddened to hear of Art’s death. He was a light in so many lives. Love his sister, Jill and son Josh. My condolences to the family. Nancy Shevitz

I met Artie at Duke as he and I were the only ones wearing a cashmere coat...and we were both Jewish. He was always friendly and considerate. After he lost his hair, I saw him as a dermatologist on occasion. His success was due to his sharp mind, good looks and wonderful personality. Marrying beautiful Carol was the best thing he did. My sympathies to Carol, his siblings and family. Harold Brody
