I've known Art for many years. We were both members of an APBA computer baseball league. Art along with 2 or 3 other league members was a regular at my house on draft day. I will miss his gentle, easy going demeanor. May he rest in peace.

I am so glad that Art has gone to a perfect rest with God and that we will see him again in heaven. I admired his firm faith and cheerful nature. Also his many interests. I will miss him.

Sincere condolences to Art´s family. He used to always make us laugh at choir rehearsals. He also loved to discuss sports with my daughter and grandson! Art was a very special child of God!

Art was a tenant of mine for several years. We became good friends and our greatest common interest was the St. Louis Redbirds........Great guy and I will surely miss talking baseball with him RIP Art.
