[PONTIAC LARRY]

My good friend Art passed this week , services were yesterday. He loved classic cars particularly Pontiacs, classic rock , played the guitar and was a accomplished artist drawing sketches of musclecars. He will always be missed. We met as fellow members of the Dallas Area Pontiac Association many years ago and ran into each other in 2007 and hung out alot and put several Pontiac project together over the next 5 years. He had been losing his battle with Parkinsons and was cheated out of well earned retirement years. He worked for 30 years for the US Army COE after serving in the Air Force and even was a City Manager of Bossier City LA for a time. He met a girl back in the old college days in Maryland she went with him taking her from Roger Staubach ! , He had an opportunity to play Professional Baseball as a Catcher but didnt take it. He was a talented Horseman, a Guitar player, Artist, Pontiac man, lover of classic rock and classic cars.
