Art,
Cindy and I offer our heart felt sympathy to you, Joanne, and all of the Strauss family. We pray that you will take comfort in knowing that your father understood how blessed he was to have a family that thought so highly of him. I never had the privilege to spend time with Art Sr. but if I had I feel certain that he would have expressed his pride and satisfaction in knowing that the business that he founded was in the care of those that loved him so dearly.

I never had a chance to meet Art Sr. but I can tell what kind of man he was by what he has left behind. He had to be a wonderful Father, Grandfather and Businessman. My prayers are with you and your family. May Art Sr. rest in peace.
God Bless You,
Jeff Wiles

It was an honor and a priviledge to know such a kind and gentle man as "Pops". Although he has gone, he is in a better place with our Lord, and his spirit will endure within his family for many generations.
