May 18, 2019 at 7:19 amJudy and family ~ I was shocked to learn such sad news on Friday.
In addition to being neighbors, Art and I were also Facebook friends. He didn’t comment a great deal, but he sure “liked” a lot of my posts. We were kindred spirits on many issues and I appreciated his support.
Whenever we would see each other, he always made it a point to stop and visit. Usually this occurred while he was walking a dog.
He had a kind heart and a soft spot for animals. I admired his dedication to adopting rescue dogs. I met Rocky last Fall on the day he was adopted. Art was walking him around the block to show him his new neighborhood and I happened to be outside as they came by.
I hope the red-brick ranch lived up to his dreams and expectations.
At this difficult time, may the love of friends give you comfort and may the love of God give you peace.
I am so very sorry.

May 18, 2019 at 9:37 amYour kind words and your smiling face will be dearly missed. It will not be the same walking into the outlet store and not seeing you. I only knew you for seven years, but for those seven years I could count on you to put a smile on my face. Rest in peace Mr. Arthur Falk.

May 18, 2019 at 10:01 amI’m so very sorry to hear this. I have known Art for 16 years. He was one of the warmest souls I have known. You always walked away from him with a smile. The way he would glow talking about his daughters and then grandbabies. He LOVED his family! Much love to you and yours.

May 18, 2019 at 11:26 pmOh “old man” Art… what can I say that others haven’t already said? I will forever miss the stories you have of the crazy life you lived. I can only hope I live half the life you did. Thanks for getting me hooked on Jersey Mike’s Subs. My next turkey and cheese is all because of you. Prayers to the family. And may all the memories lift us all in this time of loss.
