I had the priviledge of meeting "Art" several years ago. He was one of the most kind hearted, gentle
human beings I've ever met...always ready to do whatever he could to help out someone in need. I loved to listen to his
stories about his boyhood and times in the military. Art had health issues for quite some time, but very rarely, if at all,
complained.
I honor his memory and treasure our friendship.
