We just learned of Art's death today and we are sorry for your loss. Art was a great co-worker at TRA and his friendship was treasured. We shared many good times, both personal and professional, during our association. All of these have been and will always be remembered!

Mary Lou, I was so sorry to hear of Arthur's death. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Twila sent me a copy of his obituary and I notice he passed away on Delbert's birthday. I lost "Del" one year ago on March 7. May God watch over them and keep them in His care.

Art was the greatest guy. Although we didn't see him that often, he always had a big smile on his face, and was genuinely happy to see us. A quick joke, or a witty comment are my fondest memories. He was just awesome!
He has a beautiful family, and I have been very fortunate to know them all for many many years.

dear mary, martin, and mirkovich family,
i missed art's service at st. cecelias, but wanted to tell you what a great employee art was for me- one of the very best out of so many during my 25 years in the gardening business. yes, it's true he was always quick to make jokes,
smile, and see the positive in every situation! everyone appreciated that, and there was one client who only wanted art working in his garden. this guy lived with his wife and was a house-husband for 2 daughters-- obviously, too much female energy for him. when art came by on friday afternoons, they would stand together and make small talk and laugh for long periods of time. boy, was steve lonely when art left!
absolutely no one could rake gardens like art- perfectly symmetrical and wavy lines everywhere. one client came to expect this perfection, and art had to teach the next employee taking over responsibility for that garden how to do it, although the next guy never quite attained the same level of detail. and art was indeed detailled and artistic! he had an eye, the manual dexterity, and the patience to turn large areas of rangey heathers into gently rolling seas and hedges into symmetrical sculptures. he is missed!!!!!

To Mary,Christa, Michelle and Doug. I feel that the essence of Art has been expressed in many of the comments before ours. We will never forget the experiences of the "Basketball Years". Our thoughts and sympathy are with you all.

Aunt Mary, Michele, Krista and Douglas -- thank you so much for including our entire clan -- Walters, Wellbrocks and Ehrlichs --in the service and celebration of Uncle Art's life. I think you made us all feel special -- just as you always do. We will miss Uncle Art tremendously but he will always be with us in spirit at all our family gatherings. We have lots of memories to share with Cole, Sam and Uma. Looking around the church yesterday I couldn't help but feel lucky -- to have the family we do -- and to see how many people care about your family. We are truly blessed. XO

Dear Mary,
I didn't get a chance to speak to you at the church as I was constantly surrouned by 1960 classmates. We talked a lot about Art. It's amazing to me that someone so gentle could be so courageous. Your son described his father perfectly.
I use to joke with Art because ,though we shared birthdates, he was born a year earlier. At least someone in our class was older than I and I liked to remind him of that.
The accordion music at the end was a stroke of genius. It was so beautiful, so moving and so appropriate and lifted me off my feet.
I picture you surrounded and protected (as if in a caccoon) by your large famiy so I believe that you are blessed even in this very hard time. All my best to you and your family. And thank God for grandchildren!
With love and affection,
Marilyn (Micki) McLauchlan Class of 1960!

To the Mirkovich Family,
While growing up in Eagledale, all your friends became on big family. Though we've had little contact for years, it's hard to lose one of our friends.
Sorry for your loss.

Mary and family
Art will surely be missed a lot especially at our 50th class reunion. When you met Art on occasion it was never about him and always about you. I use to get upset in mechanical drawing class in school because no matter how hard I tried, my drawings were never as clean and neat as Art's. The same thing in wood shop. His projects always turned out perfect. I never did get the talent to compete with Art's skills. Art always had that special smile even the last time I saw him at Martha and Mary.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
