It is with great sadness that I offer my condolences. I feel privileged to have known Art throughout the years, both professionally and personally as his client. My father, Howard, was fond of Art and respected him as well. His good nature and willingness to help others, to give of himself, is something to be proud of and truly repected.

My sincere sympathy to the Blum family. Art was a favorite broker of my staff at the MacCallum Agency and would always welcome his visits to the office and they loved to tease him. A good business person who always kept his client's best interest in mind and was so proud of his family. May wonderful memories comfort you in the days ahead.
