Rob, my heart goes out to you and your family for the loss of your father. You’re in my thoughts during this difficult time.
Sincere condolences on the loss of your dear Father, I know he meant the world to you both. Cherish those many memories you made with him.
Rode the high school bus with Art for a few years. He was even then a kind and caring person. It is always difficult to lose a loved one.
Uncle Art was a gentleman in every sense of the word. He was a kind ,thoughtful person who along with Aunt Nancy was always welcoming. His cheerful good nature made visits a joy.
My deepest sympathy to the Long family. I can’t recall a single day of my 95 years without having Art as one of my closest, dearest friends. I will surely miss him, as will anyone who was fortunate enough to know him.

Sincerest condolences rob jeff and family. From bill ethan long
Sincerest condolences Rob, Jeff and family. My parents always spoke so highly about your father, and enjoyed their visits in Thompson Gardens. A life well lived.
“God saw him getting tired, and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around him, and whispered ‘come to me’. With tearful eyes, we watched him suffer, and saw him slowly fade away. Although we loved him dearly, we could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best.”
We love you and will miss you for eternity Grandpa/GG ❤️🕊️
