I am stunned to learn of Art's passing. Art and I worked and shared the same "hutch" in Korat Thailand and he and I were good friends. Art was a super guy and a wonderful person. I will miss him and his Veteran Day greetings. Prayers for Art and his family.

Art lived down the street from me on 8th Avenue. He was a fellow student at St. Clement´s and Tarentum High School. I remember him as being just the nicest guy. For his family - I am so sorry for your loss. May his soul Rest In Peace.
