Mrs. Landers, Linda, Janet, Cheri, and the families,I’m so sorry to hear of your great loss, Art and your father. My sincere regrets are not able to be with you last night or this morning. Art was a truly wonderful person I ever met. I enjoyed having him and working with me at the YMCA’s child care programs–drove the van. I was glad to see him the last time just before his back surgery. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Patti Schmutzler, former YMCA’s childcare director and Linda and Janet’s school classmates

I am so sorry for the loss of Art. He was such a personable man. He was always willing to stop and chat on his “walks” and the neighbors really enjoyed his visits. He will be missed.
