I wanted to let you know how sorry I am about your sudden loss. Although I do not know you well, I wanted to comment on what a very nice and giving family your were. We did not talk much except when Bryan was selling magazines for Judge and my daughters were selling candy for St. Anns School. I will miss being neighbors with you. May God Bless you and comfort you . Peace be with you! Janet Werner

Art was a very dear and close friend of mine. People who were given the privilege to know Art were able to see how much of a giving man he was. An amazing man was taken from this world but his memory will always be in our hearts. Karen and Brian...he loved you guys so much...he would tell me how lucky he felt to have you both in his life. I give you my love and as I told you both the other day please call me and let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

Steve and family,
I was so shocked to read about the passing of your brother. I always enjoyed
helping you and your parents at Bank One.
I always thought you were all some of
the nicest people I had ever met. I'm
sure your brother was the same way.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of
you during this time.

Arthur Kido is somebody I never got to meet personally but my father happened to know him well. From everything I heard about him, he had the highest of hearts and was a very happy family man. I know that he was great man, just as his brother Steve that I do know. I want Arthur to know that his life has not ended but just begun in the next life. And to all of his family... May gods peace be with you. May great Arthur rest in peace. Know that the Bradford family is here in times of need. Thank you Kido family for all you've done for my family and me personally especially Steve. We appreciate you and let us know if there is any relief you need or if you just need us to lend a hand. Thank you much!!




Sincerely yours: James Austin Bradford
