Arthur Schmidt

I just saw Art's obituary, over a decade after his passing. He was my supervisor at Green Hill School, a corrections facility in Chehalis, WA. He was a fair and strong man, yet so understanding and kind. I learned many things from Art, I swear he knew something about everything. Rest in peace, Art. I hope you have a cigar in your mouth, your boots finally kicked off, and riding on your Harley. God's blessings to you and your family. Cathy Pickus

I had the pleasure of working with Art and admired him, among other things for his style, hard work, empathy, and sense of humor. My condolences to the family.

He will always be in your hearts, and all of Your family are in our prays.

God bless

it was a joy to get to know art during my time with the dept of corrections. he always had a kind word for everyone. the staff at cipt liked when he did a walk thru. he made many friends with the staff. my sympathies are with your family.

Rest In Peace, Art.
To the rest of the Schmidt family, sorry for your loss.
He was a great boss, and friend.
He will be missed.

I knew Art Schmidt from the days of Division of Corrections. We talked on the phone a lot over time accounting (along with Sgt. Bonnie Campbell if anyone still remembers her). It was surprising that when we met in person, he proves to be very gracious and friendly despite of the vast difference in our ranks. He proves to be a good and honorable person and my deepest condolences to his family on his day of departure to the Heavenly Gates. World lost a good man.

A great man and a great family....rest in peace Art...special pleasure working for you.

Always a man of courage and understanding. Not many met him and went away without a memory. Rest in peace my friend and condolances to your family.

Art will be missed by so many. In my days in Alaska, Art became one of my best friends. Hunting, fishing, flying, or just commiserating at home, Art's humor, decency, and gentle nature was ubiquitous. My heartfelt condolences go out to Jackie, Joey, Susan, Jenny, Jason and all of his grandkids.
