Arthur J. Lester III

We met Art through Lois Chase. We both worked for Lois back in the 1980's & 1990's @ American Red Cross. Art was a doll. Lois and he came out to our summer cottage on Long Island, ME a couple of times. We really enjoyed Art and his stories. We tried to make it to the memorial service;but the severe thunderstorm in Windham that afternoon stopped us. Lois, if you read this--please call us or email us. We tried to find your phone number and/or address and were unsuccessful. We also loved...

I met Art at the Sebago Cafe and immediately felt at ease. He was funny, kind and gentle. His passing will be a huge hole in my and my friends life. Art, you are such a great guy and as Mariea says, we'll see you again someday and will definately look you up.

Artie was great company and made everyone laugh. You could recognize that flat top haircut from a mile away. Here's to Artie.

I have known and not known Artie since we were in Little League in Portsmouth Va and High School at Churchland. I havent seen him in 40 years and I still miss him. I have googled him and never found him. Just wanted to know what went on in his life. My deepest regards to Rich and the rest of Arties' family that I never knew. For the info of the family, there is a picture of Artie and his Little League team mates hanging in our restaurant in Smithfield. It will be there for a long time....

Art...we all miss you,

Art was in his typical pleasant mood during his last shift at the NWS in Gray as we chatted about the usual things (yes Art...the Red Sox continue to win ever since Manny left). He finished work at 10 pm that night with his true southern hospitality saying "see ya'll later, boys".

Well..."see you later Art - we miss you". As one of our co-workers stated after the news broke, remember to tell your family you love them before you leave for work each...

Art and I shared birth places, he love of sailing and a darn good life.You'll be missed a keel full.

I met Art when he donated blood at the Portland Red Cross. He always had a great sense of humor.
My manager was Lois Chase, and my heart goes out to her in her loss of Art.
With deepest sympathy, Sarah

I have worked with and shared many lunches with Art. I will miss his sports knowledge and current event news stories that he shared with the GYX lunch bunch and especially his verbal political jousting with our HMT and DAPM. He was quite a connoisseur of many types of music. He will be missed by many. Smooth sailing my friend and condolences to the family and vast number of friends who knew him well.

Sorry, about A. J., I met him through
work at D.O.T., he was such a good
man and friend.
