I would to give my deepest sympathy to all of Art's family and close friends. As for me he sold me cars since 1973 when he was at Pat Bombard Buick. After that he was selling cars for his former manager at Pat Bombard who went on his own business.
He sold me the first Honda Prelude in the Syracuse area. My family ,specially my mother loved Art and he admired my mother
My Dad was a union person and back then foreign cars where vu do to own." Buy
cars made in America he would say"
In the show one day, Art and I where talking about the car and my dad was walking around the car and looking at it up and down all over the car and checking how it was aligned.
I never forget Art's words to me. "What in the hell is your father doing out there". I said never mind let him be. After surveilling the car, my dad came in his office and said " I don't believe the Prelude lines up perfectly". Art and laughed.
Since that time I have bought nine cars from Art with a total of 13 cars from Honda City.
I would love to bring my parents with me every time I pick up mynew car so they could see Art. We would kiss and hug every time we saw each other and it was such joy for me
to look forward and visit with him. He had a super personality beyond anyone one I knew.
He made buying a care a pleasure. He was knowledgeable in every aspect of Honda vehicles. My heart is broken for all the memories we shared together. He will always have a place in my heart along with my parents. Memories like that will always be with me.May
he have eternal rest in heaven for I know he is with my parents. God bless you Art and may you rest in Peace
Love you
