Kathy and family,
Art and I worked together back in the GF days. He was a one of a kind character and at the same time serious about his responsibilities when it came to the business. He trusted his people and expected them to deliver results. My most vivid memory of him is that you could rely on him. Those of us who knew him have fond memories of his work hard-play hard attitude. And we all hope that he Rests In Peace.

Kathy and Family,
So sorry to hear of Art´s passing. Seems like our time in Danbury was so long ago. Remember when I was transferred to White Plains and having dinner in your home. Art was always a good friend.
God Bless

Kathy and family,
Bonnie and I were saddened to hear of Art's passing and we are sending our heartfelt condolences to you.
During our "Maxwell House Years", Art was a supporter and mentor to Bob. Beyond work time, our families became good friends and we cherish fond memories from our times together.
God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. May he rest in peace.

Art was a great mentor in my life. We worked hard together and he always had words of encouragement.

I had not seen him since Maxwell House days, but over the years thought of him and his management style often.

He was a good human being and I know he will be missed.

My condolences to Art family. Art was totally dedicated to his work at the Dial Corporation and was strong advocate for the sales organization.
