Not sure what to say?

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Art. He was a special man who kept our work environment "lively" where we shared office space years ago in Redding. He had many words of wisdom for all of us and we appreciated it.

Dear Jacque and family,
It would be difficult to imagine the severity of the last year on you all.
As a member of the San Diego group of the past, I feel free to say Art was a good man to work with and I offer condolences to us all.

The sun rising from the east is not as reliable as you. Thank you for your dedication to what you believed in, all the many things you shared with us, and all you taught me. Also a special Thank You to Jacque for sharing you.

I'll always have fond memories of Art --- we drove each other crazy at work, but always ended with a smile. My thoughts are with you Jackie.

A man is a male who is caring, honest, and not afraid to express themselves because he does so with respect. Art was a remarkable man. We were blessed when he fell in love with Jacque (a blessing herself).

Dear Art, the laughing is past, but the memories are with me. Thank you for both.
Love, Jacque

I'll miss Art's masterful quips. He had one for nearly every situation. He had a way of keeping things light and kept me smiling. Art - I'm glad I knew you.

He was a wonderful father, teacher and friend. He was honest, caring and tough. He taught me what a man should be, how to win with grace and how to face adversity with dignity. I still can't believe he is gone. I miss him every day.

We are all here for you Jacque in any way we can help.

Jacque,
For the past twenty-five years Art always challenged my thinking and I loved it. I'll have fond memories forever.
