Condolences from our family to yours. Art was a very good friend and neighbor to us and we will always remember his kindness and generosity.
The name Art Dwyer will live among the members of IBEW Local 915 for a long time. His professionalism, dedication, and true love of what he did with his skills set a high bar for scores of younger electricians to shoot for. I will be just one of many that learned life lessons from him. He was a true gentleman and I will treasure his memory.
