  1. I worked with Art for many years at BDM. He was a friend, a great co-worker, and a gentleman. I always enjoyed working with him and learned much from him. He will be missed.

  2. Thinking of you and your family, Sharon. I never got to meet him, but it sounds like your father was a great soldier and an even better dad. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

  3. Dear Tante Lili, Doreen, Sharon, Tiffany, and Mark, Mom (Anni), Georgia, and I send our condolences. We remember Onkel Arti and all of you with love,gratitude, and fondness. Much love, Margaret (860 437 7582)
