We are not family by blood but family in spirit. I have known Art since 1966. Neighbors, and friends of my parents. A beautiful man who walked his own unique path in life and left those he encountered along he way just a little bit better. May you be joyful in your reunion with Barbara. My prayers for peace for your family. Thank you for making my life richer.
