Art died Dec. 1, 2007, in Gulfport, Miss., after a brief illness. During World War II, Art served in the American Field Service for five years as an ambulance driver in the Middle East, North Africa, Italy, and Austria. He then re-entered the furniture business and married Loretta O'Reilly. He later became a supplier of construction materials for various companies and was ultimately transferred to Florida, where he and his family enjoyed many years in the Holly Oaks community. He became involved in the Jacksonville (Fla.) Community Council and the World Affairs Council of Jacksonville.  After Loretta's death, Art joined his daughter Jeanette's family in Pass Christian, Miss. He became a Katrina refugee for nine months and happily moved back into his home early last year. In his new community he participated in the Friends of the Library, the historical society, and the chamber of commerce. Art leaves his daughters and their husbands, Jeanette and Bill Morrison and Gail and Bob Carter; two grandsons, Nick and Toby Carter; and many admiring cousins and in-laws. To them all, we extend our sincere sympathy.
