Judy and Family:
I enjoyed the many years of working with Art at Central Office in the State Dept. of Education. Art always had a joke ready to go and a terrific sense of humor. His concern for the students in the V.T. school system was unparalleled. You can be proud of the years that Art spent doing good for students and staff who needed a champion to obtain funding and equipment. The basketball team in heaven just got a terrific rebounder and guard! He will be truly missed by all the many lives he touched.

Art was a true friend and colleague. I will really miss him.I believe that God needed another fisherman and golfer to help him upstairs. Judy and family, the Cheney family gives their heart felt thoughts of love and support to you in your time of grief. Art has left our family with many fond memories. Goodbye "Pard". Richard Cheney and Family

Skip (Judy's brother) and I (Skip's ex) and our children, Nancy Martin, Cindy Duggan and Doug Marhoffer are so sorry we are missing the funeral services. We all remember all the fun the Quimby's and our family had on all our vacations together camping. They were the best times of our lives. Art was a great guy, with an unassuming demeanor and a quiet sense of humor, who kept his cool (most of the times) with 6 children, 3 dogs, spouses, brother-in-law and his in-laws around. We shall miss him tons.

The passing of Art is a heartfelt loss to his family, loved ones, friends and associates. He gave many of us who were team mates, class mates and, in fact, the entire city of New London a lifetime of unforgetable memories of the 1951 class of Bulkeley School. Thank you Art, and God bless.

Richard Morgan, Bulkeley class of 1951
