ARTHUR BLAIR

I think of Art often. Art was a great fella, always fun to be with. Miss you.

I knew Art & Gerry from the `50s. Our families vacationed together in New England and Silver Lake. Art was always fun to be around. He liked speed. Once, when I was a little boy, he took my Dad, Frank, for a boat ride in a wooden boat with a green windshield. He went fast. I was scared and cried. I think this was in Silver Lake. At any rate, I still liked him and always enjoyed being around him. Art was a hoot. As he would say, "Well, that´s for sure." One of the good guys.

I worked with Art at Alpine. Art was one of the nicest guys I ever knew. His sense of humor was stellar. Our families vacationed together in New England. My sister and I picked cherries at his place one summer.

Art, quite simply the best friend you could ask for and the one with a Sooper Dooper sense of humor.

Art was always the most pleasant and great stories of his past. He loved his wife and always looked after her. He was a symbol of a person who should be followed by the younger generation.
You have our sympathy and we will miss him.

We all loved Art and Gerry. Wonderful, wonderful folks. "Well, that's right. That's for sure, he would always say. Jack Hull. Love to all.

Dear Gerrie and Family:
I was saddened to read of the passing of Art. He sure looked like his Dad. I remember him coming out to the farm, and him taking one of our horses to the Sparta rodeo, how that old horse loved to run.My Dad talked about his hunting trip wibth Art,and Karl for all the years of his life,he had the best time. Used to see Bill on occasion as we both carried mail,and Richards daughter lived on my mail route in Lowell. I have retired and live in Tennessee now. Brother...

Gerry and family you have my deepest Sympathy.Art was A great guy.

Gerry and family: You have my deepest Sympathy in the loss of A great friend.
