Rosalie and Family – I am so sorry to hear of the loss of this great man. Art was such a talent – he not only was a great friend in the old neighborhood, but a great craftsmen. I still have many many objects in my home that I’m very fond of! He made my grandson a great wooden horse that will last many lifetimes! Thinking of you all, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
