Dear Tim and Marilyn, my sincere condolences on the passing of Art. I remember him as a jovial yet quiet guy and have fond memories of several Bills games and even one Blue Jays game in Toronto together when I was young. The morning of Tim's wedding he jokingly asked my advice for giving Tim "the talk". May he rest in peace and my thoughts and prayers will be with you tomorrow during the ceremony.

Dean Marilyn, Tim and family:
I remember Artie from my days in the Oblate Seminary in Washington, DC. He was a fun person to be with, always cheerful and willing to help out no matter what the project was. May your fond memories of him support you during these difficult days.

Dear Marilyn and Tim and all - Please accept my condolences and assurance of prayers for our beloved Artie. I was with him in our seminary days in Washington and spent a good amount of time together when we were both in the priesthood and the Oblates. Needless to say, we had some great times together and I'll always cherish them.

Wishing you much peace,
