Not only was Art a caring and thoughtful neighbor, but a very good friend. I’m sure he will be deeply missed by all of his close neighbors in Briar Patch Village, especially Jeanne and I.
He was a great neighbor and he will be sadly missed, God bless his family and friends.
Art was a wonderful son, husband, father and friend. I was married to a cousin of Art’s and knew of him when he lived in Chicago. I recently learned of his sister, Dolores’s passing, and found out that Art had passed. My sympathy to his family. Rest in Peace Art
