I remember Art being bartender at the Luau's ("mai tai good but be mai tai careful") I remember how Art used to bring ladies (his harem) to the council dinners. Great guy! We will miss him

I only knew Art briefly by driving him to mass at St. Joan of Arc. He was a wonderful man, always brought a smile to my face. May God bless him and his family
