After reading, I learned, Art was so many things before who I new him to be, a very kind, gentle, capable, contributing man. Handy to fix something broken or be a part of getting it done right! So obviously dedicated to his gal, and clearly to his family too. As a friend of Kurt's, I offer my condolences. A guy like that, you want to live forever.
