Arthur was well known and loved in his work circles, played Bass Guitar in the Iconic band Psychedelic Test in the 80’s, made many close friends, and was much loved and highly regarded by his family and nieces and nephews.

Art enjoyed Music of many kinds, had a huge CD collection, loved watching sci-fi and horror movies, was an avid fisherman, smoked and enjoyed good hand-rolled cigars, was into stargazing through his binoculars, loved burning candles, was an old hi-fidelity equipment buff, he collected coins and stamps and took many concert photos that could have been on the cover of the Rolling Stone!

Art had an incredible knack for carrying on an intelligent conversation with anyone about any subject. He had a quirky sense of humor that endeared all who listened to him, and a loud infectious laugh that invited even the most stoic to smile!
