Art has been gone for several years but he is definitely not forgotten. I think of him anytime I see a Boy Scout or see my son using skills Art taught him. He is still very much missed and loved.

I am still in shock. Art was too young to be called home to Christ but at least he lived his life with compassion. Art was well-loved and he had done so many kind and thoughtful things. He was so friendly and helpful to those who knew him and to stangers (in and out of Boy Scouts). I will forever be grateful to have known Art. I know mere words are not enough to ease your sorrow, but take comfort in the fact that he will be sorely missed.
