Art was very special to RSVP, now CVAC, in Chemung County. A most dedicated volunteer, I enjoyed my time with him on Senior Notebook. His interests there included history and museums, and he enjoyed providing coverage to the northern tier of PA. We'll miss him. He was with us just over 20 years.

We all taught together for many years at Junior High West, Sing Sing Road, Art loved getting together at different houses with fellow teachers. He loved to joke and have fun. His love for his wife Kae and children was very evident. His children have a great legacy to remember. Our sincere condolences to the family. Art will be missed by many. RIP dear Art.

Art was a great colleague. What wonderful memories to remember. There is one which was special especially for me. My husband was dying, and my children were young. Easter weekend Art showed up at our house. He was dressed as the Easter bunny and had baskets of candy. That was Art. He cared. May he Rest In Peace united with Rae!

Our prayers, thoughts and love are with you all. In life you were blessed with two wonderful parents. We mourn your loss, yet rejoice that they are United together in the arms of God and at the feet of Jesus.
We were blessed to have know them and the opportunity to have many conversations around the computer. Family was a top priority for both your mom and dad. Their love, care and respect for each of you was always included in those conversations.
Jeannie and I both send our love and Pray for God’s peace to be with each of you.

from high school to this end, no one ever had a better friend -
ALWAYS there before I could ask, never maybe-always yes.
athletics, dances, births, weddings, birthdays, anniversaries
and funerals-even 35 straight New Years eves at Moretti's together
have made my life so much more..
I'll miss you my friend
