Art was a great man. He took a chance on me and gave me my first job out of school. I have my career thanks to the patience and generosity of a man that saw something in me and wanted me to try and shine. Thank you Art. Thank you.

Truly one of the finest men I have ever known, gone too soon! Art, you should have lived to be 100 sharing all your wisdom and generosity! My sincere sympathies to his three daughters who he spoke of with great pride and loved completely as well as his grandchildren who will miss his gentleness and love. I am truly saddened by his passing.
