    Gary, Robin, Kelly & families. My sincere sympathy expressed to all of you. Uncle Art was a special man. I enjoyed our coffee times (usually every Saturday) at the donut shop with Mom, Dorothy and Art and whoever else happen to come along. He always had something funny to tell us. Many good memories.
