Arthur Kirk Olmsted

We have come to a time in history that having Art around to smile, laugh and be positive would be a candle to light up the night. There isn't much that any of us can say that wouldn't cause us to shed a tear or two over his passing. Life sometime sends us curve balls that we still have to swing at, Art always took those in stride as should we. I am sure that he is still smiling and being a great force, in my life he certainly is. Thanks for being a friend. Lloyd and Judy

Arthur,the "Little Broker" on the Corner, will be missed. My condolences to Meredith, Robert, Christopher and Melissa

Art was one of the greatest bosses! I help setup Olmsted & Associates as the guys secretary. Art was kind, sweet, funny as heck - a very loving Dad. He had Lots of Food Broker stories, and fishing stories. Wish I could be at the memorial, but grandsons birthday. He will be missed!Chris Toops

Ric and I were so lucky to have been friends with Art & Meridth. Art's jolly laugh will be missed. We wish all the family to have great memories which lead to an abundance of peace.

Art and I met when he was in high school again in the Jaycees. My memories of Art are 'what a promoter" and always a friend to me and everyone he met.
RIP my friend.

I first met Artie back in 1974. I had just completed my first month as a teacher and was attending a social function (bar) after a local Jaycee meeting. I actually met three Jaycees that were also parents of my students. I wasn't sure if I should have a beer or a coke, until Artie threw his arm around me, told me not to worry, and bought me a beer! I ended up having his other kids as students. Attended quite a few parties at their house. What a great and funny man. RIP Artie!

Nobody did life like Art! He was a Confucius in his own right. His big ole bear hugs and laugh will be missed by many. Lloyd and Judy

Oh Art - our dear Art. You will be missed now and forever. One of a kind and a lovely human being. Ron

I will never forget the first time I met Art Olmsted. Scott and I had just met, we went to Jumbo Rileys for a cocktail after work. OF COURSE, Art was there with a large group of business associations and friends. His laugh filled ones heart with happiness and joy! Since that time we have been friends with Art. I have known him for 36 years. A list a mile long of great memories and laughter, great food, great wine. Meredith is a blessing in Art's life! She added to his and everyone's joy. Art...
