In Memory
Art passed away in Chipita Park, Colo., on March 19, 2021, at the age of 93. He grew up in Kansas City, Mo., and went to the Pembroke Country Day School before serving in the Navy during World War II. At Amherst, he was a member of Delta Upsilon and majored in political science.
Art had two very different careers. For 20 years, he was in television broadcasting sales, starting in Kansas City and then moving to Chicago, New York and Phoenix. In 1971, he went to Colorado and started the process of becoming an antiques expert and appraiser. Along the way, he owned antique stores in Green Mountain Falls and Old Colorado City, Colo. He retired at 85.
Art is survived by his wife, Virginia; three daughters, Jacqueline Simonds (Robin), Ann Cardle (Robert) and Catherine Miles (Brian); and four grandchildren.
