My Friend is gone, his memory is in my Heart. I look forward to the fulfillment of John 5:28,29. We will share some stories when He comes back. To Art's family, I am sorry for your loss, words cannot heal your pain, remembering keeps pain at bay. Prayer helps us cope.

Going to miss you brother. I've been thinking about all the summers we spent together as kids and hanging out with your dad.
I'm not saying goodbye, but I'll say see you later.

Art was one of the nicest guy's that i had ever met, what started out as a work relationship turned into friendship. When Art would visit our shop he fit right in, I really think he looked forward to the occasional ribbing and "shop talk" among everyone here. We always talked about our kids and NASCAR, but never did get together to watch a race, although we came close. He sure did love his decorated Christmas trees, he would always show me pictures and I would think "wow" this big ol' dude sure has some talent. I sure am going to miss him!

I am so sad to hear of the passing of Art. My name is Kevin , but Art knew me as SQUIRREL as a field service tech for United Rentals. I called Art when I was in trouble many times to help with genie problems. He never failed to help me or my coworkers out . When ever I could find a genie school class taught by Art I would have to try to get in. Because of his fondness for cigars when ever we had a class in Cleveland I would have the the lunch catering deli bring 2 quality cigars for him. He would later call me and thank me for I was the only one who did that. One of the things I will miss most from Art is his great sense of humor and kindness.his ability to share stories and photos of work place stupid stuff has made many service technicians better and more safe so they to can go home to loved ones each night. Art has probably saved lives in his work career, but know for a fact he has changed lives for the better . The world is a little less fun and compassionate with out Art but still a better place for his memory my good friend was here for too short of time. All who worked with you will miss you sincerely a friend SQUIRREL.

Art was one of the most pleasant individuals I have had the pleasure of knowing. He loved his family and was proud of their accomplishments. The customers he worked with always welcomed him and his knowledge, he touch many lives positively and left great impressions and memories wherever he traveled. I will miss him dearly as will others, Godspeed my friend and I will always keep you in my thoughts. May God bless his family and help them through this difficult time. Take comfort knowing he is without pain and in the arms of angles just like him.

So sorry to hear about Art. I really enjoyed sitting with him at football games when our sons played. Occasionally, we would ride together to varsity games. He will be missed.

Such a big man with a bigger heart who cherished his family. You will be deeply missed my friend by many who you left a lasting impression on.

I remember Art from our earlier days at Skyjack. I worked at the Canadian Headquarters in Inside Sales. I always loved talking to Art on the phone or seeing him at a trade show. He always had a fantastic smile, a great personality and was loved by all who knew him. I am so very sorry for your loss and pray that you may find peace knowing that he is now free from any pain and at peace. May Art rest in peace. God Bless you all.

Art always thought of others, on how he could help or cheer people up . Well you succeeded once again, by joining the team on our service conference call a few days ago to say hi and then goodbye...
Buddy you are simply the best. I am blessed to have had you as a friend. Keep an eye on all of us. Love You Gerry.

My sincere condolences to the Acuna family on the loss of your beloved Arthur. Losing someone you love is the most difficult thing a family will ever do. Our Heavenly Father knows the pain death brings and that is why at Revelation 21:3,4 Almighty God promises soon all pain, sickness and death will be eliminated. How comforting to know God not only has the power but the desire to reunite us with our loved ones by means of the resurrection hope Jesus spoke of at John 5:21,28-29. May you find comfort in these scriptures and your beautiful memories of Arthur.

I've had the pleasure of knowing and working with Art for more than 15 years. Nobody had a bigger smile nor a bigger heart than Art and he certainly lit up a room with his presence. Art really know how to bring a smile to your face whether through his cooking or just being Art.
My sympathies go out to Monica and Isaac and the rest of Art's family at this time of remembering.
His friendship will always be cherished.

Although it has been years since we have seen him, memories have never faded away. We, The Balderas Family, have shared so many laughs, smiles and good times with Windie and his family. We never forgot about him and we always talked about funny moments with him. It is tough being so far away and losing contact but we never stopped loving him and we never stopped cherishing those special times we once shared.

Until we meet again....
Love,
Candelario Jr, Cathy and the kids

Art was such a great guy! He took us camping, let me stay at his house over the summers, and even let my Dad live with him when my Dad was sick. For all the ups and downs, the love and spirit of Art was truly a blessing in our family. His cooking was amazing and I dont ever think anyone can make a mexican hotdog like he can! I will miss the laughter and the way he always made my husband Tom feel welcome! He may have had a weak heart, but it was the biggest damn heart there was! I will miss watching the Phoenix Sun's at gaga's house and those amazing christmas tamales the whole family would get together to make! He truly put spice into our family life! And to Monica and Isaac, i know what a loss this must be for you guys. I saw it in Arts eyes how he would always want the best for his kids and he will never be forgotten or replaced. RIP Arthur Acuna!
