Not sure what to say?

Art, although several months have passed since you're journey to Heaven, I've thought about you so often. Had the great pleasure of meeting you through Christ the King Mens group and dining with you at the Forum. You were everything a man and more importantly a Christian Man, represents, and I thank you for you time and insight on life, health, and family. I'll never understand how your grandchildren barley if ever missed a day of school and I know I better order your vitamins!!

My Dear friend Art,....You were a great friend of mine that taught me a lot and encouraged me to move forward with taking my IT skills from a side job to my business. You opened your home to me, and during those times we created many memories,... Memories that will stay with me for the remaining of my days. Thank you so much!

This comes as a great shock and a great loss to me. Art and I enjoyed many moments. My condolences to everyone. Steven Council

So sorry to hear of Art's passing. I am sure he and my Dad are already exchanging stories with St Peter in Heaven! It was a pleasure to get to know him again as we served as Eucharistic Ministers at Christ the King these last few years.May he rest in peace and my prayers are with Katie and the rest of the family.

Art,
I have been praying for you for many months now. I know you are at peace and in heaven with the Lord. Thanks for all that you did for me, Diane and Jeff and Donna over the years. You are a wonderful person that I can truly call a good friend. Thanks for the memories and laughs....you will be missed my friend. You have always been someone I looked up to.

Over the past several years I had the pleasure of developing a friendship with Art since I would pick Art up at The Forum Retirement Community and we would drive together to and from the Christ the King monthly men's group meetings. During our time together I learned so much. Art was a great storyteller. I learned what it was like to be raised by Vincencian priests after his parents had to put him into an orphanage during the depression, what it was like to prepare for the D day invasion,...

Art was a good man, and he is sorely missed. He was active at Christ the King well into his 90s, and he always had a kind word for those around him. Heaven has surely gained a good soul.

I love you Grampa and miss you terribly.
