Arthur Polhill Small III

A fine fellow who aspired to be a polo piney trainer at the FBI in Nanhattan.

I used to see Art when we were both out walking in the mornings. Then I had some health problems and that, plus fear of the pandemic, haulted my walks for about three years. I recently resumed them, but one of the big things I noticed was Art´s absence. I feared the worst, and a little research led me to find that the worst was true. Rest in peace, Art. I barely knew you, but enough to know you were a good guy.

Rest in peace Buddy, we had some great times and caught a few fish. Enjoyed the laughs and good times.

My condolences ,to Beau, Four , and all the extended family. May God Bless you during this sorrowful time.

Art and I had been friends since we were in 6th grade when we began playing baseball for The Ribault Lions Club. Later we both played several years on our high school baseball team. After we both finished college we ended up working a year together at state probation in Jacksonville before he began his career at the FBI. Art came back to Jacksonville in 1977 about a year after I had transferred with Federal Probation to Orlando and later Tampa. We remained friends and were in each others weddings. Later when I retired Art was there for my golf tournament and dinner. About 18 months later I was at his retirement function.

Art was a great friend! He was by all definition , a jokester, much like his Dad, and almost as corny. My favorite silly moment about Art was my first out of town trip with him and two other guys to Art's uncle's fishing camp in either N. Georgia or S. Alabama??? He called it "Camp Falstaff". Before leaving for the trip Art took a sheet of paper and divided it up into smaller pieces and handed out 3-4 to each of us. On each he had written "pee ticket". His idea was that you didn't need to interrupt if you needed to go, just cash in your ticket and the driver, Art, would stop at the nearest appropriate place. It worked and I must admit, I used the same tactic with family and friend over the years.

Art was a great man! His Love of Family was something I always admired. He was also a very good athlete and a great teammate. He could hit a baseball a country mile.

Artie will be greatly missed by many. He always made everyone feel welcome. I feel quite sure he was welcomed when he cleared those Pearly Gates.

As children, Artie and grew up together in close proximity as neighbors in Lake Forest Manor. He was one of those unique and quality individuals we tend to remember and cherish the friendship throughout our entire life. The world shall now contain a void; but, we know he is at peace. May God give strength and peace to those family members and friends who will miss him so very much.

This is heartbreaking. I grew up with Art in Lake Forest. Our families were members of Epperson Methodist Church. I have many fond memories of spending time with him and his wonderful family. He was such a good guy and always a gentleman. sending prayers to his family & friends.

Thinking of your family. Thanks for your friendship and wonderful memories from our young years. Art was a wonderful leader and friend from our school years.

One of the people in life that you have nothing but good thoughts and memories! He added real value to our world and those who knew him. He will be missed!

We were best friends in elementary school, both serving on the Boy Patrol together (i.e., crossing guards) -- and classmates at Ribault HS. The world has lost a good guy.

Only good memories of a great school mate. Always a gentleman.

He was a great guy - loved by all.
Deepest sympathy!

Rest in peace Artie.
