I only knew Artie for the very short years we worked together at CMAA I am going to miss the race car stories and the scratch ticket tales. I will miss his smile and dry humor. It is privilege to have known him as a friend.

To Mrs. G.,Jackie, Debbie , Phil, Patti, JeanMarie and the extended Gagnon Family: I offer my deepest condolences on the passing of your husband/ father. It has been many years since I saw Art, but I have many fond memories of our childhood on Boyden St. I remember the days it snowed and we would all pitch in to get the cars unburied,especially that ugly green station wagon Toohills made your Dad drive. When I was home last August ,Debbie and I reminiced about old times and Deb brought back many memories of the days on College Hill. Again, I'm so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing and I know he will be fondly remembered. My best to all.
