Not sure what to say?

Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Art was one of a kind and had a wealth of knowledge. Great man!

Marilyn, I am so glad Vinnie and I had the chance to visit with you and Art. Art was an outstanding man and so interesting to talk to. It was always a pleasure to spend time with both of you even though our visits were far and few between. Im sure this kind and gentle man will be missed by all.
With deepest sympathy,
Carol and Vance

Rest in peace Art. Thanks for showing me how to get the most out of life!
Big love to all my family reading this Art was an incredible man.

To Art's family:

Please accept my deepest sympathy. Art was very kind and always helpful when I sought information from the newspaper reporters association. May he rest in peace.

We are so sorry for your loss. Art was such an inspiration to us all with his humour, knowledge of the family , kindness and his everlasting quest for life. When our kids were in school he corresponded with each and every one of them as they sought out his knowledge of the family tree for their school papers. Always taking the time to help even though he didn't even know them . He was my cousin and an inspiration of health and wisdom to our family. Hugs and prayers are sent your way .

Such a kind person. I feel fortunate to have known him through the Chicago Newspaper Reporters Association and each association and contact was most friendly and enjoyable. He will be missed.

Uncle Art will be sorely missed by those who knew him. And he knew so many. He was such a smart, witty and kind man. I am so glad he was part of our lives and my children's lives as he has made lasting wonderful impressions in our hearts and minds. There are many a great story any of us can share from our time spent with Uncle Art Up North. Thank you for sharing him with us.

When times come again to recount the heyday of newspaper reporting in Chicago I hope to be sitting there with Art. The old Morrison hotel once again will be packed with reporters, wives and friends, politicians, lawyers and more than a few crooks at the annual bash not seen since the days of Hinky Dink and Bathhouse John. Art and I will look round in hopes of finding Lavin. Dynamite, JoMo, Spirko, Bliss, Banana Nose. Woody, Marmaduke. Larry Mulay and the laundry list of colorful...

I attended Amundsen high school with Art and his brother. They were smart and fun.
I am happy Art enjoyed a good long life and
had a loving wife and children and grandchildren. They bring such joy to us in our old age.
