I will always remember Uncle Art from the first time I met him. I was with his nephew Bobby and no one in the family knew me. But the first time I was introduced to him, Uncle Art welcomed me and treated me not like an outsider, but as if I had been a part of the family all along.

Although we weren't blood relatives, Uncle...

Art was I person I knew well and yet knew not at all. He was very friendly, open, honest and knowledgeable. But I only knew him from the bridge Zone and think there was a lot more to Art!!!

"Rest in Peace Arpher"

uncle shorty, for as everyone knew him as art he was always to me my uncle shorty the tallest of my fathers brothers and sisters well that's what makes nicknames so special. he was a special person throughout my life i will miss him and love him forever

I wish I had known him longer. He was so warm and thoughtful. He touched me very much in that short time. Before we could get plans to meet, was when the last problems began. To Ruth and Eddie especially know how much harder it is for you. Prayers for all of you that were closer to him. Pat(bridge)
