I'm very sorry to learn of Art's passing.  I know it was a great effort for him to attend our 50th Reunion and I'm so happy he did. He led a well lived life and I'm sure he'll  be greatly much missed by all those who knew him.

I just learned of Art's passing through the Oakland High School Class of 1963 website.  50 Years had passed until we met up with each other at our 50th Year Class Reunion in November 2013.  I'm certain that Art was the same unassuming gentleman I knew him to be during the years we had lost contact.  My sincerest condolences to Hong Shin, Austin, Koby and to Art's extended family.

I am so sorry to hear about Art's passing.  We went to elementary school together.  He was always such a "rock", so grounded and kind.  I have always thought so highly of him and so appreciated his friendly smile and greetings.  My best wishes to his family, they were blessed with a truly wonderful husband and father.

Art was sweet, gentle, open and always centered in knowing what was humane and honest.  I was so happy to see him at the reunion and so sorry to hear of his passing.  We were all blessed to have grown up with him. He was everything a good human being should be.
