Art was a true American Hero. His service to our country never
ended. While in the US Navy, his Nuclear EOD unit was 1 of only 2 in the world.
Their mission during the COLD WAR nuclear standoff was intensely dangerous. And
that team did incredible work at nuclear accident sites saving this world from
Armageddon. Art went on after retirement from the Navy to a remarkable job in
public safety for Georgia. As a badged Executive Officer he was one of the planners
and founders of the important Skidaway Inst of Oceanography in Savannah, Ga. Truly
Art was a man who loved and cherished our world. I came to know Art because
of his command of the EOD search for the lost US Air Force Hydrogen Bomb dropped
in 1958 in the ocean at Savannah. It was never found and in 2004 the US Government
conducted another search for the missing weapon. Art was an adviser and important
asset for that operation which also failed to find the lost weapon. The need for
better technology was painfully apparent. I mention this because Art's story
is not finished nor is that important work. He consulted with me routinely as
we discussed the technology needed to find such dangerous items. That work is
still underway. Art's input lives on. To his family, you are all to be commended
for your public service that you have all done, I am sure that is due in part
to the wonderful man Art was. The world will miss him. Please carry on. Pat
and I give our deepest sympathy to your loss.
