REST IN PEACE ARTIE. YOU WILL BE MISSED BY YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
Rest in peace my friend. You will be missed greatly.
Oh Judy and kids, so sorry to hear about Art. He was a genuinely kind soul who will be missed by everyone who ever knew him, and so I understand the depth of your loss. His gentle smile/quiet chuckle was often something that made me feel better about my day, no matter how grey or overcast the weather outside. They say only the good die young. This is one of those cases. God bless you all. Big Hug, Debbie, Ray and Elza
Mrs. Cass and Aaron, Mr. Cass will be missed by all. He was and still is a wonderful man. Prayers being sent to your family
So sorry to hear about Art. He will be missed. Thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.

Just had a friend from Oswego send me the news here on the West Coast. Judy and family – I am so sorry. I have a treasure chest of memories jammed into about 10 years with Arthur- working on VW vans, traveling around the country in the early ’70s in derelict vehicles, hanging out in the Barn and Beanery where he was the bouncer, moving to Oswego, where I went to college and he started working filling vending machines but our lives were still connected.
Lots of great memories including his wedding day and the Fritz The Cat t-shirt he wore under his fancy tux in the Finger Lakes.
I am so sorry for you and the family; he loved kids before he ever had even one and I am certain that his life,when we were on the opposite sides of the country, was well fulfilled.
He was a big part of my early life,and a large part of stories still told round the dinner table. It was comforting knowing that he was there, even though 3,000 miles away. I will miss him greatly. Phil Becker
