Not sure what to say?

It's hard to believe Artie has been gone for 5 years. I think of him so often. When Lori and Artie came south to see the lunar eclipse the spent a night in Bloomington which I live nearby. Lori took a picture of Artie and I together and I put it on the mirror of my dresser. I see it on a daily basis. He was the best cousin one could ask for. Jean Hough Furlong

Thanks for the memories. Your daughter...

Art and Linda, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I will be keeping you and your family in my prayers.

Rest in Peace Brother Loomis, I didn't get to know you as much as I would have liked but every time we met at a Council meeting you were all smiles and a breath of fresh air. Art you will be missed !

Lori, I was saddened to hear that your father passed away. My thoughts are with you and your family. It was always such a pleasure to see your dad at the Knights of Columbus summer party. Caring thoughts are with you.

Artie, as he was known to us his cousins, was very special to all of us. As our cousin Elaine said to me, "Sad news we lost 'our' Artie. He was truly loved by us who knew him and for me that was my whole life.
I'll miss you, Artie, my dear cousin.
There's now another little hole in my heart.
I will be there to bid you farewell.

Mr. Loomis will always be considered a HERO for serving our country during a time when fighting for our freedom was essential. Thank you Sir for your bravery, courage and sacrifice. You truly were part of the "Greatest Generation". May God hold you in his loving arms. Rest in Peace.

Ron & Teresa...sending love & prayers for you and your family...will remember your Dad in our prayers. Kathy Eucce & Fam.

Farewell, Brother Art. You were an inspiration to all of us in the Knights of Columbus. You will be missed. Rest well Brother.
