Ruthie & Heff, Wayne, & All The Tuppers,

You are all in my thoughts & Prayers at this most difficult time. I remember Mr. Tupper years ago with my dad, Jack Henningson & the rest,forming the original Algonquin Boosters Club. They were all great guys who really cared for the welfare & success of all the kids at ARHS. Art was genuinely interested with a great sense of pride and spirit to help out the athletic programs at any level.He was a first class guy & family man, and I'm sure will be missed by many.
My deepest sympathies to all.

Peace & Love

I was saddened to read of the passing of Art. When I graduated from high school in 1958 I worked at Wayland Raytheon for a year until Art convinced me that I should go to college. Because of his very thoughtful and compassionate nature - we developed a very special bond during that year. He and Eileen even attended my wedding. I've always wanted to reconnect, but somehow never followed up on it. My heartfelt condolences go out to Eileen and the family - you must have so many wonderful memories to reflect on. I can picture him "holding court" with his children and grandchildren.
