Art was great to volunteer with at the DAV. I enjoyed his company while waiting hour after hour for patients to finish their appointments and be driven home by us.

Mike worked with him at the post office. A few years ago when Mike used the DAV van to get to an appointment the driver was Art.
Mike was sadden to read of his passing. "He was a good man". He sends his condolences on Art´ passing. May his memory be a blessing.
( My dad Mike doesn´t do anything on line, but asked me to write this).
