Art, Jack and I were members of USMC platoon 445 at Parris Island (Boot camp) back in 1954-55. Good times (and some bad times) but we were and always will be Marines. Where is Jack?

I am so very sorry to hear about the passing of Uncle Artie. My heart goes out to you and your family. Uncle Art will always be remembered for his beautiful smile, big heart, friendly ways and most of all his warm presence. He will be missed a great deal. I have many special summer memories as a child of Uncle Art that I will always hold onto in my heart. He will be deeply missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
Love,

Dear Shirley, and family.
I know that words cannot bring a loved one back, but all those memories - and pictures - help keep him alive. "Jack&Art" - always voiced in the same breath when we were kids - were always exciting to see at family events. I hope you find comfort in knowing that he and you are intricately woven in the fabric of the Meade family quilt - (even though at times it was a crazy quilt!) Please accept my prayers and best wishes.
