My dad was the greatest man in the world. He had no judgement, he had a good heart, he always wanted to do the right thing, he was very accepting, when things went wrong he would always look forward and try to find a solution rather than look at the negative, he loved his family, he loved making everyone smile and I don’t think I’ve ever heard him cuss in my whole life. I think I heard him cuss once or twice. He loved the world, nature, and animals. Those are just a few traits that I listed about my dad, but there are a lot more. He taught me sooooo much in my life and I’m never going to forget the good times we had! I still get really sad about you dad! It’s definitely going to be very hard now that you are gone, but I will try really hard to remember the good memories that we had!
I know that I’ve gotten some of the opportunities I’ve gotten because of you, so thank you soooo much! I know you are looking down and making sure I’m safe and I can’t express how thankful and blessed you are doing that for me! I love you so much and my kids do too! We all miss you a lot! We will always love you sooo much and you are always going to be in our hearts!!!!! 🥰 💕 ❤️ Rest in peace dad! We are glad you are not in pain anymore! I love you!

I was so sorry to hear about Art's passing. We worked together many years ago at Tandem and became friends from that experience. Art to me was a solid and honest person that I knew I could count on. Some of my best memories are not from work, but rather from a couple of backpacking trips to the Sierra's. We did one with our 12 year old kids which was great to our last trip which started out great by having horses to carry not only our gear but us as well. This last trip however started out good with us both fishing at noon to then retreating to our tent for the next two days as it started to snow and snow and snow. On the second day of being wet and cold we decided we probably should head out so we could find the trail. Not a great fishing trip, but a very memorable trip with a good friend. In looking at the pictures posted I really liked the pictures of Art smiling with his toothy grin. He was a wonderful person and will be missed very much. I know all will miss him and especially his family for the kind and loving person he was.

I am so sorry to have heard of Art's passing. Art meant a ton to me. His example, his encouragement and his belief in me made all the difference. He was an incredible person and people leader. Always positive, always with the right question, insight or guidance. He had a strong moral compass, and a wonderful smile and a dear sense of humor. His mentorship meant everything, and the example he set and modeled in his daily interactions - his love of family, the way he genuinely cared about each person, the way he encouraged and showed his support to each member of the team - those things stay with you and shape who you are. He made me a better person and I am grateful and blessed to have had him in my life. I know he is in the best of places, and waiting for those he loved to join him when it is their time to do so. And in the meanwhile, I am sure he is spending each day with those he cared about who are already there, bringing his kind soul and gentle humor with him to make their already bright days that much more joyous.

Wish you and the family peace during this time. Will always remember him as a very caring and thoughtful man from every single interaction I had with him 💛

My favorite brother in law….. I met Art when my sister Cici took him to our home in Cerritos at their courtship days. There was no question about it we approved. My sister was finally in love… until their first born Brian we were keeping holidays together. Then came the twins Stacie and Stephanie this was new experience for my sister. They were just adorable. Art never failed in his love and dedication to his growing family thru ups and down he and Cici were holding hands together. For me they were my second family to run to and value for many reasons. Often I depend on their moral support and strength in my own life path. Art and Cici took my children to Disneyland while no children of their… it was a great feeling and warm memories that Art is part of our family. May God bestow all the blessing and happiness for eternity….you are now an “Artangel” love you…

Great summary of what Uncle Art was able to bless those around him with! Memories came into my vision as I read it with tears slowly following. He will be greatly missed and never forgotten. Condolences Tita C, Brian, Stephanie, and Stacie. Love you

I am so saddened at the loss of this loving man. When I think of Art, I think of someone always in service to others...but the type of person that serves because they truly and genuinely feel called to do so. My memories of Art are often accompanied more with feelings than images or moments. Someone who was a consistent, calm, steady presence. Someone who made you feel safe because you knew he never had an agenda or something to accomplish with you (other than maybe helping make sure your shelves and TV were properly hung in your new apartment 🤣). Someone who was always a fan; never a cynic, never a critic, never a nay sayer. If you had a goal, a mission, or a dream...he'd find a way to support you. If your decision was a terrible one? He may give you a short, researched, and highly logical opinion, but you never with any pressure or motive...just out of supportive caring. Isn't that what parents are supposed to be, anyway? This was Art. At every game...there for every major life moment for his kids...in the metaphorical "stands" rooting you on. Thank you for what you've imparted upon your wonderful daughter (my bestie for the restie)...you've left an everlasting mark of resilience and perseverance on her. Thank you for what you've imparted on your late wife--care, partnership, bonded love. Thank you for what you've imparted on your children (biological and not 🙋🏼♀️). A piece of a heart is now missing, but filled with how you continue to live on in others.
Shine bright in the afterlife...we'll be looking out for you!
All my love and deepest condolences to Art's family (my family!). I love you!
