I knew Art "across the table". I was the "Union" he was the "Boss". That relationship would, by it's nature, have been polite but distant at best-but it was not so. Art was the kind of supervisor that truly cared for his guys, a rare and wonderful thing these days.

I send my condolences to the family of a kind man. I worked with Art back in the GTE days.
