Not sure what to say?

Dr G was my dentist for over 20 years ,I was afraid of the dental chair but he was one if the kindess understanding person there ever was. We discuused life ,laughed and fixed my teeth all at the same time .He will be missed but fond memories will last forever. The world was a better place for Art having walked this earth. God bless you all Neita Dorais

I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. Please find peace and comfort in Psalms in Psalms 119:76.

You will be missed by a lot of friends and family. I just heard about this and I am saddened. I know you will lead everyone up there with your knowledge just know you were a great person.

Art was one of many Vietnam vets from the class of '76 who walked the halls at UMDOD. I cannot remember a day that he didn't have a smile. He was just one of those gregarious guys that you couldn't get enough of. Dental school is made a lot easier because of guys like Art. Great guy.

I only knew him for a short time , but we always had such fun ! That laugh was so wonderfully bold and infectious . You are missed. Prayers to your family , so they may always remember your love of life and laugh! Gods Speed!

The picture posted surely proves Art retained his BIG smile his entire life. That's the smile that was him. I knew Art since my pre-high school days. Always a smile on the school bus, in the halls at the high school, at school events, and wherever he was. We never knew just what joke Art would play on his fellow classmates and friends. Good to know that smile traveled with him throughout his life.
