I just read about Art's death in our alumni magazine. Art was a wonderful person during our time in medical school - he made a lot of hard times into fun times, and he was surrounded by friends. I have warm memories of him - he always seemed to be a part of the good times! I am sorry to hear of his death. He was a wonderful man, and will be missed by many, even those whose lives he touched only briefly, like mine. Your family will be in my prayers for your loss.

I was shocked and saddened to just now learn of Art's death. I first met Art in my freshman dorm at Brown University and he quickly became a friend. I will remember him as a deeply caring, intuitive man who loved to laugh. I'll also remember him for his fascination with the Swedish language. He will live on in perpetuity through my pictures with him from my college photo album.
To Art's immediate family: Always know Art will always be deeply loved and appreciated by those of us who had the honor of knowing him and the privilege of calling him a friend.
I can just picture Art smiling warmly and putting each of us on the back and saying "thanks" after reading each of these notes.
But it's all of us who owe Art a great deal of thanks.

Dear Mrs. Chaney and Family,
I had just learned of your loss today and am truly sorry. I was referred to Dr. Chaney from his colleague at Mass General Hospital in Boston after my surgery. Dr. Chaney contacted me and I was impressed with his concern and engaging personality. Although I did not physically meet Dr. Chaney, I met his kind Spirit toward my illness. My Prayers are with you and your family. May he rest in Peace.

To the Chaney Family,
Although I have not seen you in many years, I remember you and your family from my bowling days with Pat..
I kept active in the Paramus schools and my husband stayed active in Paramus sports programs (hoping he had found the next great basketball player, however, Artie was more the scholar) we watched Artie grow up a popular student graduating at the top of the Paramus High class.
We have been in Florida for the winter. I received a phone call telling me of the death of Artie. My heart stopped for a moment and my husband and I were so saddened.
Artie's life was cut short but he lived every moment, a great son , grandson, brother, husband and father, a caring doctor helping others. He accomplished more than most who live to be of golden age.
I hope you get comfort from all the love and prayers being sent your way.
with our deepest sympathy,
Sue and Ron Buchthal

Dear Chaney Family
My husband David was a patient of Dr. Chaney in mid-2009. When we first came to radiation, Dr. Chaney was kind and took his time explaining what to expect, etc. We were happy to have Dr. Chaney as our radiologist because he had also treated Dave's father two years prior.
When my husband had to go back for more radiation at a later date, we learned that Dr. Chaney had been diagnosed himself but the staff was confident he would be back to work soon. When we went back for a third and fourth round of treatments over several months time, we asked about Dr. Chaney and everyone was optomistic that he would be back in March.
Sadly, my husband's disease progression was uncontrollable and he passed away peacefully on March 23rd. I learned of Dr. Chaney's passing only a day before my Dave left us.
I wish you peace and grace in this most difficult time. There have been many people here to comfort me in my grief and it is good that I can share some of that comfort with you, I hope. Dr. Chaney was a fine man who helped many people.

To The Chaney Family, I truly am so sorry to learn of the loss of Dr. Chaney. I am originally from Roanoke, VA, I moved to Mooresville in 2005 after having my yearly I found out I had Stage 1 breast cancer, rather than depend on my yearly mammograms, I chose to do radiation. At that time I had the pleasure of meeting with Dr Chaney and taking 33 treatments of radiation. During that time he was such a wonderful doctor and he told me that he did some of his training in Roanoke and that was where he met his wife when she was in nursing. Even after I finished my radiation, I went by and saw him and the girls several times, as they all made a lasting impression on me...
I moved to South Carolina a couple of weeks ago, and only today after work did I check the Mooresville paper and I was shocked to find this. I am so sorry as we all have lost a very special person and I will be in touch with all of the family. God be with each one of you. Just remember Dr. Chaney is an ANGEL watching over all of you each day......

My heart goes out to you, Mrs. Chaney and your family. I am so sorry for your loss. I was a patient of Dr. Chaney's a year and 1/2 ago, and I loved him the first time I met him. I really think that everyone who knew him did too.
I had breast cancer and had a choice of places to go for radiation, but after meeting that kind, wonderful man, I chose to drive to Mooresville each day, and it was a good decision.
He was a blessing to all of us. May God be with you and give you comfort.

Dr. Chaney treated my husband's cancer and was our favorite doctor by far. He always greeted us as old friends, was genuine in his concern, and was a "real" person. At our first meeting, he formed a relationship with us by dragging out his wallet to show off his pictures of his family and we often talked about home life. The medical profession has suffered a huge loss, but heaven is a better place!

I was deeply saddened to learn of Dr. Chaney's passing. He was such a joy to see whenever his children were brought in to the office. I will certainly miss his angelic smile, but know that you will forever have this wonderful angel watching over all of you. Allow God's love and your memories to comfort you during this most difficult time.
Love in Christ,
Virginia C.

I will so miss his cheerful voice calling our offce, and going to his performances, My Family went a number of times to hear him play. May God wrap his arms around you during your time of sorrow.

To the Chaney Family:
Romans 8:38-39
“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
This message is sent with deepest sympathy and understanding to give you courage in your hour of sorrow. During this difficult time, may it comfort you to know that others care and God is only a prayer away. We sometimes don’t understand God’s purpose and question his wisdom. But, always remember that His mercy and love surround you now and every hour of the day. May His grace comfort, keep and sustain you as you mourn your loss. “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.”
With all our love and prayers,
The McNair Family
