You were giving Dan a hard time about bringing you lunch when you already eaten. Mom could not stop thinking about you or talking about you. She was like a kid in a candy store!!

I first met Artie in 1969 at Mather AFB, we were working on a B-52 and he showed me how an ALT-6B jammer was capable of jamming any TV signal in the area. He was always on the edge.
We made it thru the USAF, ARC, CSUS and survived the 70's. We attended many Rock Concerts at UOP. At one concert the Stockton Police used their new riot gear and tear gas on the crowd inside the stadium. We barely got out alive without being squashed by the stampeding crowd.

Artie, we will miss your goofie stories and adventures. You were always one to keep the smile going but very direct too! Loved the day you drove your New corvette over to show us all, you had waited so long to have one and you got it! We love ya and will truly miss your face and spunky way.

I was So shocked to hear the news about Art's passing..I had just talked to him a week ago and commented on how healthy he looked. I met Art sometime in the early 70's. He always had a smile on his face and full of life! Art will be missed by lots of loving family and friends. My prayers are with his family.
