My deepest sympathy to the Johnson family.
I have a lot of memories of Art. He would take all of us neighbor kids to the drive in’s and to the Hershey Hockey games. He would stop and buy us pizza on the way home. He would make us all laugh very hard as he had a great sense of humor. I appreciate all that he did for me as a child and I love the Johnson family. They are great people. Art will really be missed.
