We were saddened to hear of Art's passing and offer our sympathies. I believe it was in the 1960s that we first came together, and met many times during the week to have coffee at McCrory's department store, early in the morning. Those indeed were, the good old days.

Sadly missed, a true gentleman that is has been my pleasure to know for over forty years when I purchased police radios from him when I was a rookie chief in Beach City. More recently had several nice chats at pulmonary rehab. Rest in peace Brother.
