My sympathy to Art's family. Nella, the pet therapy dog, and I will miss talking with Art, a fellow Canadien fan! He was always able to fill me in on the latest stats of the team. He also enjoyed petting Nella.

To all my cousins I am sorry to hear about Uncle Arthur. I have many fond memories of him and all the great stories he told. Being only one year older than my mom, she also told me many stories of when they were children and the antics they would get into. He will be truly missed by all those who knew and loved him. Sending condolences, love and hugs, Terry and family.
