Art was a very dear man and will be sadly missed by all. He was always kind and caring to everyone. Our children remember him at the family picnics playing horseshoes with them. He was so nice and tried to teach him his technique which they could never learn. He was the best!
I was named after Him, so I’m glad that I am a part of him. He was a great man who loved life and telling his jokes. When I found out about his passing. Apart of me felt like that apart of me is gone! Heaven has gained an angel 😇. He will be missed 🙏

So sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Art. My Father, Bob Majette worked alongside of Art for decades. I always heard nice things about Art, yes his jokes and funny stories. I have met dozens of my dads co workers and I’m sure I met Art as well. I lost my Dad in February and I know what your family is going through. May Art rest in peace.

Living in Las Vegas, NV. I had very little contact with our family until Facebook. Even now still very little. lol. I believe the last time I saw Uncle Art was for my dad’s (Antonio Leccese) funeral back in 1987. My condolences to all my cousins and their families for their loss.
