[weezell]

Condolences and may he Rest In Peace. You were blessed to have someone like that in your life, it does not happen often if ever. You were both blessed Jim...

 

[BROBS]

Sorry to hear that, man. Glad you had so many good times with him. ?

 

[gervais]

They don't make them like that anymore Jim. You had a good and rare friend. May he rest in peace

 

[bullet08]

Good friends are truly hard to come by. My deepest condolences.

 

[PipesRock]

Very sorry for your loss. Sure sounds like you were both bettered because of each other... true friendship.

 

[Papamique]

What a great tribute in honor of your good friend. There is a reason he chose you as a friend. So sorry for your loss and enjoyed reading of the great relationship you enjoyed Jim.

I was a member of SF.uk since the beginning. Art and others ran a great board with little drama. It’s to bad the software crashed and disappeared so much great information one to many times. RIP Art!

 

[brian64]

My sincere condolences Jim. That was a wonderful eulogy...you two were obviously very close.

RIP Art.

 

[Franco]

Sounds like a very interesting person. RIP.

Sorry for your loss. From your description of him we’ve all lost something not very common these days.

That's very true.

My eyes watered. It seems they don't raise them like they used to. He and his likes are becoming a rarity you are fortunate for his time with you. RIP Art.

New here. I've been trying to find out about Art this morning as I couldn't get him on the phone and nobody was home.

Art was my bookkeeper. Far more than that he was a friend and mentor. They don't make the cloth these days from which Art was cut. There was nothing half way in Art's world and I'll miss the discussions on any number of topics.

RIP Art. You are missed.

Art's passing leaves a big hole in our lives. I don't seem to go more than a few minutes without thinking about him, and wishing he was here.

Losing a friend liked Art has got to hurt. You could say it's your way of honoring his memory. To be alive means to court death. Then it comes, and then for the living comes the hurt.

Those are very true words.

I'm smoking the Tinsky pipe he gave me right now. Makes me think of him every time I smoke a pipe he generously gave me.

 

[saltedplug]

I think you have grief work to do, and that this thread is a beginning.

R.I.P. Sir

 

[chopper]

A life well led and Art made it to 80yo. Well played sir.

Vale Art, sorry that I didn't get to know you. It sounds like you were one of the good guys.

It's never good bye @jiminks but rather, until we meet again.
Art will be waiting to greet you when it's your time to return home ...... probably with a meer in hand for you
