Art was a loyal customer for years of our company, METRO Electric Supply, but even more than that he was a great friend of many of us that knew and worked with him through METRO. He was always happy and cheerful when he entered our counter. We will certainly miss Art.

I am praying for your family and send my condolences. My deepest sympathies go out to you. May you find comfort and peace during this difficult time.
The loss of another great hero that can never be replaced.
I’d like to thank dads friends, police officers and civilians who have been calling and sharing that special time with him. Most of the conversations start with, ” Let me tell you what your dad did for me”. We did as much as a father and son could do. Pop was a fighter till it was time to let go. Say hello to mom.

Art I know you’re dad meant the world to you. I am so sorry for your loss, there’s no words that will never ease the pain, as we both know. But your friends are here for you to lean against.
A legendary figure within the police department. Our paths crossed many times, especially in the 1980’s, when he was a watch commander in District 7. He was always supporting “good, aggressive law enforcement.”
I’m glad I got to meet him.
