So glad to be able to watch the graveside service yesterday at least. Some day I'm going to make Debby give me all the details -- including menu -- of her second date with my man Arthur. Best, Bill Tammeus.

Dear Cousins,

I was saddened to hear of Art's passing. I will remember his kindness, warmth and devotion to family. He was generous and open heart-ed welcoming you as an old friend, even though you relative strangers. I loved listening to the Family stories when we were together. Truly one in a million. I was fortunate to have known him. You are in my thoughts. May his memory bring you peace. All my love,
Cheryl (Kaufman)

What a treasure, what an inspiration for the good in every way. Oh how I wish I could yet learn more from him about the essences of life. Oh how I wish I could somehow afford him with a bit of the reward and thanks he so deserved. A life well lived; a rare moment of beauty. Something to relish as long as their is a breath.

Art and Debby were amongst the first Tucsonans to welcome Amy and me to Tucson fifteen years ago. Over the years, we shared too many Holidays and Family Events to count. And on every one of those occasions, Art contributed a huge smile, interesting conversation, and warm hospitality, not to mention some delicious Gourmet dish he had prepared just for us. We will miss his upbeat disposition, his bear hugs, his perfect potato latkes. Debby and Becky, we are so sorry for your—and our—loss. Thank you, Art, for helping to make Tucson feel like home.

Debby and Becky
Your tribute to your husband and father really captured the Art that Dennis and I loved.
He was an exceptional man in so many ways.
Loved the first ride in your police car with the stains in the back, being there when you received Montrose, the great recipes of Arthur’s I still use, the numerous fun vacations and of course our very special relationship.
Art was always a pure genuine beautiful sole.
May his memory be a blessing.
Love you
Teri

I never had the chance to meet Rebekah's father, but had a sense of him from her and my conversations. Today's service added dimension to what Rebekah had shared and was a lovely tribute to a man who contributed to his communities and brought so much joy to those around him. Condolences to Rebekah, her mom, his sisters and others close to him. May memories of positive times help everyone through this difficult time.

I was terribly saddened to hear that Art, the “pride of Skokie,” is gone. To those of us who graduated from Mizzou in the same class (BJ ‘67), Art was a great guy and a hell of a reporter. He was always well sourced and tenacious but unassuming and humble. To a new foreign student like myself, Art was an inspiration for his competence, compassion and willingness to “comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.” I will miss him.

Dear Debby, Becky & Rick,
What a beautiful service & tribute to our beloved Art. Jerry & I send our love, support & virtual hugs to you all & May your memories bring comfort to you. One observation...Art was the only person in our family to confront Aunt Mary about certain “ kosher” foods & ingredients in her cabinet. It didn’t go well! That memory always makes me smile! He had such chutzpah & I loved it! Love you so much & wish we could have been with you today! Judy & Jerry

Dear Debby and Rebekah: I knew Art in High School as the Editor of the NileHilite and a really good guy. I'm not surprised at the glowing tributes from those who knew and worked with him over the years, as his character was evident back in school. I'm so proud of his excellent career in what I consider one of the most righteous and important professions there is. I am deeply sorry for your loss.
