Big G was a most kind soul & our neighbor in our first Lawrence home. His great knowledge of antiques, etc. & warm personality made him a most special businessman. He was a fine friend to our family & we will certainly miss him. Condolences to the family.
I have had many great memories of Art and his 67 nova, his antique shop and just talking and trading with him. Rest in peace Art.

Randy, your dad was one of the most important people in my life growing up in Lawrence. He was a friend and mentor to me. I was in Lawrence about a year ago, and tried to contact him, but was unable. I regret that with all my heart. My thoughts are with you in your time of sorrow. Gene❤
Randy, your mom notified about Art’s passing, Lawrence has lost a lifelong Icon. Art was an amazing man, with amazing personal skills in both business and friendships…He made you want to do business with him, and always had a way about him, that one would enjoy, when doing business with him…May the peace of God surround your life at this time, and may you, yourself, come to know the saving Grace of God, through His Son, Jesus Christ…hope to see you and your mom at a Corvette rally, or in Colorado next year….Gary T.
Sorry to hear . Always enjoyed him and his Antiques. Our thoughts are with you, Randy.
RIP Big G! Thanks for a lifetime of always pleasant, always friendly dealing from a fellow recycler.
