“Art We just continued a dance you started, The Pirates Ball. A lot of the dancers now do not remember the start of this dance or that you started it. To the few that are still dancing and remember you they smile when they think of you. As your name is remembered so are you.”

“Art You are missed. I thought of you the other day and cried. You are with my beloved Marie now in Heaven. You were such a joy to me with Lucille after Marie passed away. You would be disappointed in the state of square dancing now. After COVID it just has not bounced back. To the family my prayers are always with you. Remember as long as people remember he lives on in your memory. Stephen F Bigelow 904-612-1081”

“I moved to Jacksonville back in 1986 and the first caller i danced with was Art. I am still dancing but the best I ever danced to was Art. Just last night I was dancing Advanced and thought about Art and how patient, kind and understanding he was if you messed up. I know you are in heaven calling and my wife Marie is smiling. My sympathies to the family”

“Art was a dear friend and a wonderful mentor. My wife Marie introduced me to the best caller in all of Florida when I came to visit. As tome went on he became a dear friend with his wife Lucille. So much of what Art did he did for the Love of the craft and the people. He was one of a kind and the Earth is not as sunny with him gone. Stephen F Bigelow [email protected]”

“When I moved to Jacksonville in 1987. Art was one of the first callers I danced to. He welcomed me with a smile and friendship. Over the years I have treasured his friendship. When I thought about calling again he mentored me. A big hole is in my heart and in the square dance community at the lose of one of the greatest. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.”
