Not sure what to say?

When I first heard of my uncle's passing away, I thought, "He's schmoozing in heaven right now." I miss him dearly because he was my first mentor.

I have many fond memories of Art when I worked for the Village of Morton Grove some 13 years ago. Art was an extremely warm and generous businessmen, and really believed in supporting the village and the community. I will always remember him telling me, "Chinese food never makes you fat." He had a heart of gold and will be missed.

I have known Art for many years,& have eaten at the restaurant many enjoyable. Art was very friendly & always had a kind word for me & my family. Condolences to Joyce & rest of his family.

A GREAT BOSS,FRIEND THAT WILL BE MISSED BY ALL.

I will always remember Art when I first met him in 1960 when he was a very young man. I will always remember him as a very happy and easy going person, and a very thoughtful person. My fondest memories of him will not only be what I mentioned above but the enjoyable visit we had with him last April,1999 when he visited San Diego. My thoughts are with Joyce and his two daughters at this time of mourning.

A wonderful person that will be missed.

We have very fond memories of Art watching with pride as his daughters grew up to be accomplished successful young women. He never forgot those he met and each person was always greeted with a smile and a friendly hello.

Howard and I, along with our girls send our sincere sympathy to Joyce, Christine and Patty on your loss.

Just a good man, will be missed by all.
