Sending love and comfort to you. Art's was a life incredibly well lived. I continue to hear his name followed by fond memories and loving comments made by people who had met and been touched by him. I never had the pleasure of meeting Art, but feel the ripples of his contributions in our mutual coaching and leadership circles. <3

Art was (and is) a beautiful soul... we shared many wonderful times together in the Insight Seminars and he was always an inspiration of love, compassion and leadership. I love you Art--- I know your soul will continue to be a blessing in this universe we share..... See you on the other side, Dear Angel!

Art, I met you in person when Arny went to Bogotá. I was so impressed by all you planted there in that city I love, through Coaching Hall. I can feel your deep and adventurous spirit, and it gives me the impulse to take more risks, to live up to my full potential, one brave step at a time. Keep flying free, dear elder brother. May your courage visit me often in my path :-)) And I also send love to all your close family in this special transition moment.

Dear John,
Our sincere condolences to you and your loving extended family.
As Maya Angelou said "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Art made people feel like they mattered and what they did in the world mattered. There is no greater gift! He shared that gift with so many in such a kind, fun-loving, courageous way! May he rest in peace. And may you be comforted with the knowing that he was greatly loved by so many and that his life mattered!
Gratefully,
Kathy Robbins

Art, truly was someone I admired. My daughter Lauren loved having him as an uncle. My wife & me were lucky enough to have him as a brother in law. When he came to hear Lauren sing, I could see a tear in his eye and how proud he was. Art had that rare ability of making you feel like, you know each other your whole life. He will be missed. I know he is in a better place with no pain, watching over John and everyone else.

Art was a rare spirit and it was clear from our time at Columbia University that he was an extraordinary teacher and mentor. He helped me to "move the needle" in my life. My sympathy and love to John and the rest of Art's tribe.
