To Alda, Steve, Brian and Peter. Very sorry to hear of Art's passing. I will always remember him as a quiet and wise man who always watched what was going on and found the humor in life. I have too many positive memories and no bad ones that come to mind of the dad of a good friend. He always made me feel welcome, even when we kept the Willy's in the driveway for what must have felt like years, when we invaded his solitude at Miller beach and when we were going through the bumps of young adulthood.

Alda, I've always enjoyed running into you and Art, with the ever-present smiles on your faces. Such a nice couple, I've always thought. And such a wonderful guy.

To the Cumings Family, Our prayer are with you all. Don't know where to begin. My, our, times during the summers @ Cedar Hill Terrace. That he was always about with a great big smile, on the porch, on the beach path w/ his beach chair, the the large striped towel drapped over his shoulder, and on the beach. Alway around with a wonderfil greeting. Always made you feel special. He even extended himself to my son, on a visit from Kansas to Cedar Hill, my son Johnny had mentioned how he liked to draw, and Art took him to his upstairs Studio. Gave him the tour, spent some time showing him some drawing techniques. My son was walking on air as we left. He still speaks of those days visiting Miller Place. What a great man, God bless you Art Cumings. You'll always be in our prays, Johnny & Melissa Munz

What a wonderful man. I grew up next door to "Mr. Cumings" who was a kind and quiet presence. He happily endured we kids often invading his studio. In later years, I had long and wonderful conversations with Art that would always go off in unexpected directions. One of my fondest memories is of Art and I strolling the halls of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I assumed he would critique the paintings. Instead, he would stop in front of a painting and discuss how what was going on in the artist's life and times affected their work. I've never looked at a painting the same way since that day.

My deepest sympathies to Alda, Peter, Steven, Brian and their families.

Offer it up!

To the Cumings Family, we are so sorry to hear about Art's passing. Our prayers are with all of you. Lauren and Bill Plage
