Art was a dear friend of my brother's (Carl May) in Elkton, KY. He always took time to say something kind to me, Carl's little sister, and I remember him with great fondness. My heartfelt sympathy to Art's family.

I had the privilege of befriending and ministering alongside of Art Boone at USP McCreary where he faithfully ministered to our inmate population with a passion and love that was contagious. My most profound memory of Art was standing in the prison pulpit at 85 years old sharing the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and how Christ changed his life. When he spoke, along with Wendell Cook and Vertrees Molden, the men knew to respect these men of God who have honored and walked with Jesus for scores of years. Art and Billie became adopted grandparents to our kids whom they loved by coming to piano recitals and birthday parties. We truly miss them both and count ourselves blessed to have shared even a small portion of our life journey with them. There are people that you meet that make you a better person for having known and met them - Art had that quality in spades. I will miss my dear friend and rejoice that he and Billie are together again enjoying eternal pleasures at the right hand of God (Ps 16:11). Well done, Art. Thank you for leaving us a godly legacy by living life well and finishing strong.

My sincerest sympathy to the family of Mr. Boone. He and Billie were special people and my family loved them both dearly. They were a constant at church my entire childhood and Billie later became my daughters piano teacher. They were a sweet and special couple and no doubt, they are reunited once again.

It was always a pleasure to greet this fine gentleman anywhere I saw him. The same was true for his sweet wife. They both made the world around them smile and they will always be a wonderful memory and missed in many ways.

I met Mr Boone through my job many years ago and was impressed by what a gentleman he was. Also, he was a great friend and neighbor to our friends The Hayfords. Sorry for your loss.
