Aunt Florence, Arpy, Kathy, Bill and family, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

We feel blessed to have had Art as our Uncle. He was a super nice person with a great sense of humor who was always fun to be around. We will always remember the happy times we shared together with Uncle Art at family gatherings.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

We send our deepest sympathy to the entire family. Through Bill and Kim, we got to know Pop-Pop and enjoyed the times we visited Pop-Pop and Mom-Mom.

So sad to hear about him passing away. He was such a nice man. Just saw him a few weeks ago and I am so glad we did go and see him then. Thinking about you Art, Kathy, and Florence.
