I have worked with Art for 15 years at MSAD#15. We chatted nearly every work day and I could count on him to start my day with a smile! We became "tech buddies" and good friends. He could always make me laugh with his stories! He loved his family dearly and was so very proud of them all. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of you! He was a kind, thoughtful, humorous man and I will miss him immensely.

Thinking of you all. I have lots of good memories from your dad, and still have the "Jamie's Bar" sign he made me for my 21st birthday, hanging now in our bar downstairs. He is a great man, and will never be truly gone. He's in a beautiful Kingdom now with Gail, probably yelling at the Pats during pre-season.

Art was our daughter's softball coach 30 yrs ago. Having many daughters of his own you can imagine that he was perfect for the job. He was patient and kind and we had many happy memories of those years.
Later Art came to work for SAD 15 and we were once again reunited whenever I needed tech support. I enjoyed catching up, talking about our children, our grandchildren and later discussing those retirement days ahead.
I am so truly sorry to hear of his passing. He was a wonderful man and I can only imagine the loss his children and grandchildren are feeling.
Keep your memories close, he is with you always.
Donna Skilling and Family
