Dave, you and your entire family are in my prayers.

All the Benedetto family. Art was a part of our group of friends. We ate,talked and played games . We shared our young lives. Art and Joan were quiet and kind and welcome friends. And I remember a time or two when Art's parents came and cooked Italian for all of us ! Your parents were good people and they will be missed.

Very saddened to hear of the passing of your father....I am sure he heard the words Well Done My Good and Faithful Servant! Prayers to you all!

Dear Benedetto Family, I'm so sorry for your loss. I have so many fond memories of the Neighborhood and Art. Him, Taking the time to pitch to me to help me with my swing at the Ridgeway school baseball diamond. The many days and nights spent sharing family time, eating some fantastic spaghetti dinners (with Homemade Meatballs) and making s'mores with you all. I cherish those memories and thank Art for his kind words and his encouragement.

To the Benedetto Family,

I had the honor to know Art and coached
his boys.A great father and role model.
He was a leader in the Jackson Area and well respected.

He will be MISSED but never FORGOTTEN !!!
Prayers and thoughts are with you all.
