It's hard for me to say goodbye to a good friend but one day we will be together again. So for now save
a place by the fire up at camp for me and we will meet again. Carol and kids I feel your loss and I know it's hard but
at least the big guy is at peace.

I am so sorry to learn
of Art's passing. I offer my condolences to his wife and family. I am a high school classmate of Art's and graduated
with him in 1964. I remember him as a vital young man and a star of the Boiling Springs football team. As a member
of the band I often saw him play. I also remember him as a very kind, pleasant young person. Unfortunately, over the years,
I have only had brief chances to speak with him at class reunions. I will miss him.

I am so sorry to hear this sad news. I admired
and respected Art. His service to this country and community and his devotion to his friends and family was without equal.

We the class of 1964 have
lost another beloved member. I trust that he is with those who have passed before him and that his thought is of some small
comfort to those left behind. Art fought bravely against a hateful disease and he lived his life to the best of his ability.
I will remember him as the young man he was so long ago.
