Saddened by the loss of a genuinely kind man and friend. Art was always a joy to be around and I´ll always remember his smile when he would shake my hand. He never had a bad word to say about anyone. It was always easy to see how much he cared about his wife and family. He will be missed by all those that knew him.

Rest easy Art

The world is a lot lesser of a place without my friend Art. Every time I was able to spend any time with Art, I was better for it and my day was a better day because of it.
Every conversation followed the same pattern, How you doing, Car talk, Food talk, Island talk and then we talked about family. There was no mistaking two things with him: how much he loved and missed his wife and how much he loved being around his family.
I miss him but it was a gift from the universe that I got to know him and call him my friend.
I am so very sorry for your loss.
