My condolences. It sounds like we lost a good one. Can you reveal what he ultimately passed from?

Heart failure. He passed away in bed at home. I had talked to him that evening. He was very tired, and was going to bed. He died a few hours later. Art had his favorite pipe right beside him, unfinished.

What an elegy this is. The fact that you knew him so well is a testament to how infectious of a life he had.

"how should he die
When cruel old campaigners win safe through?

But death replied: “I choose him.” So he went,
And there was silence in the summer night;
Silence and safety; and the veils of sleep.
Then, far away, the thudding of the guns."

I thank you greatly for that.
