I give my deepest sympathy and condolences to Caol and the rest of the family, to the passing of Art. Art was a good man. I liked him very much. I enjoyed the boat ride at his lake home. I worked with Art at the Trib for many years. I retired 6 years ago. Sincerly James E. Vescio

Dear Carol, I remember the times that both of you came up and visited my family. It gave me a sense of normalcy in difficult times. I will remember Art’s laugh and smile. I will miss him. Ken Humphrey
