Art made more of an impact on my life than he ever knew, and I was blessed to have known him. He was a wonderful, kind, compassionate man, and I am relieved that he is at peace and free from pain. My prayers are with his family during this most difficult time.

In loving memory of my dear nephew. I will miss exchanging letters and lengthy TTY chats..especially the very spirited exchanges where we didn't always agree. I'm sure Art knew that I know he was right on one issue and that time will decide the others. Aunt Karen Gerdes
