I had the privilege of being a student at Elder high school with Art as my history teacher. He was also one of my basketball coaches and helped lead our team to the first undefeated season in Elder history. Our class of 1961 made him an honorary member and he attended many of our events. The best of the best!

What I remember of Mr. Del Conte as a history teacher was that he was a pleasant change of pace from all the Padres who attempted to further our education. Richard Jones class of 1961.

Art was a great handicapper and enjoyed many of the Class of 1961 track outings. There was one special day at River Downs that he picked the winning horse from the racing form which had a good price and of course was #5. He picked this horse from the racing form data at Belmont Park and not River Downs. Don't know if #5 won at Belmont but he won at River Downs.

Arty will be missed by so many. He was a great guy, I’m so glad I got to get to know him over the last decade. He was so nice and spent a lot of time with my son PJ and was so proud of him when he joined the marines. They talked often. He also called Paul and my brother everyday during their battles with cancer. Hugs and prayers to all the lives that this great touched.

Art was a good football coach and a great guy. He coached us at Purcell. He was a coach that you could talk to and have fun with. There were a lot of funny stories .....
RIP Art

Men like Art DelConte have had MAJOR influences on the the lives of the many young men they taught, coached and provided guidance. He was a special person who had a strong impact on my life while playing football and basketball at Elder High School. I have memories and sometimes nightmares of my time running suicides under his guidance. A very special person. RIP
