reading these passages from when he passed brings both tears and smiles to my face. I miss him and his sweet, soft personality. My gram is still going strong and we are thankful she is still here to enjoy (yet another) grandchild! I am sad to know that both of my girls will never have the pleasure of meeting their great grampa, but I will keep him alive when I tell stories of him to them, as they grow. Miss you grampa, and I hope you are playing all the baseball up in heaven.

Sally and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. I have such fond memories of the stories and laughter around my grandparents' table (Herbie and Ruth) and at your home in Greece. Peace to you all.

Dear Sally, I sent you a message to the email address I have for you. Not knowing whether you still have email access, I want you to know how sad I am to hear of Art's passing. I feel blessed to have had such a wonderful, kind hearted cousin. It was always good to see and spend time with him, with you, and with your family. Please give my condolences and love to Don, Margie, young Sally, and their families.

A man of few words but what he did say had an impact. I did not know him for long but feel that I knew him much longer. I can say that there are not as many men that could match this one. Sally, you were his dream. His love for you was obvious. What the two of you shared was amazing. Cherish all that you had together. The two of you, shared what few have. I know that I will cherish the time that I had with him. I was lucky to have met him and you. Wonderful people. Hugs and love you to you Sally. My heart goes out to the family.

he was a quiet, well mannered man. He was a dedicated husband, a hands on father and I can especially attest to his amazing attributes as a grandfather. A great fisherman, hard worker and had so much admiration, love and support for my grandma. His wife of 64 amazing years. A loving marriage that stood the test of so many decades, so much time. I will miss my grandfather dearly. I will miss his love of baseball and his sweet talks on all things he was passionate for. I will cherish the memories with him teaching me to fish on the St Lawrence, and the many summers I spent there with him. He was a strong man who fought till the end. Even in his last days on this earth, he made sure my gramma was taking care of, that she would have no worries. We will miss you grampa, and cherish the amazing memories we had with you.
