I worked with Art for years at Keller's. We formed a great relationship and he
was a dear man and friend. He will be missed.

Dear Bernice,

I am so sorry not to have written before this. I received my
copy of the PT with Art's obituary on the same day that I lost Tim. I know how
hard these last months have been for you. My thoughts and prayers have been with
you. I am so happy to have this avenue to contact you and send my condolences.
Take care. Linda
