I just learned about Art's passing from a fellow member of the American Theater Organ Society. My thoughts about Art, are that he was a great friend, who shared his enthusiasm for the theater organ with me. I was fortunate to have worked with him on a few of our organ projects in the Sacramento area. He always was a friendly person, who I enjoyed talking to on many occasions.

Pops truly was a special person. I could always count on a warm hug and a fun chat. I have several sweet memories of him but, the one that comes to mind is when he asked to hold my newborn son. As he held him he gave Colt some kind words. It was a touching moment to witness. I am happy is he reunited with his true love up in heaven. God bless.
