Read MoreI want to add my condolences. My friend (who does not have a computer) has very fond memories of a week in the 1960's when he took his four older children, a nephew and her, and a cat on a week's vacation in a camper. Imagine taking on 6 teenagers for a week of "vacation". She said it was the best vacation of her childhood. Sincerely, Ginger

Fifty years ago Art steered a lost young man at AIC into a life of working with developmentally challenged kids. I thank him for a life filled with joy.

My sympathies to the family. I was a student of his at AIC. He was a wonderful teacher and it was clear that he loved what he did at the college. Our paths crossed again at DeBerry Elementary School when he was evaluating one of the programs. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to come in contact with him.

Joanne,
Please accept our most sincere condolences. Art was a wonderful friend and neighbor for so many years. We have so many fond memories of those years when you lived across from us on Concord Rd.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sorrowful time.

JoAnn- I just learned of Art's passing and want you to know how deeply saddened I am. He was a rare gem and a friend to me personally as well as my family. Our shared memories go back a very long way. He will be missed. I will always remember him as he looks in this picture.
