So very sorry to hear of Art's passing, I had the pleasure of working with Art through Laborers local 341. He was a extremely knowledgeable in his professional duties as a forman, Job Steward, and an elected official of Laborers Local 341. A gentleman, at all times. I'm also impressed with knowing about his love of baseball and all those accomplishments in his early life. Art was a wonderful man, my condolences go out to Mrs. Schirmer, Candace, and Family. R I P

Art and I were classmates at JCHS and graduated together in 1956. He was such a pleasant person always and so gifted athletically. We met again on the campus of the U of O both of us students there and if I recall correctly he was there on a baseball scholarship. R.I.P. Art. Condolences to the family.

Just a note to let Art's family know how much I enjoyed him during our high school years. He always had a smile for everyone that I'm sure capivated others throughout his life. So glad I had the opportunity to share a classroom or hallway with him for four years.
