It's sad to see another classmate depart from us. I didn't know Art that well but I do remember he was a nice person back then and I'm sure he was a very nice person his whole life. I say "Hang in there" to the rest of my classmates of 1964. I only went to school in Delphi for a couple of years but that time is very treasured to me,
Jack Little (1964)
I have many fond memories of Art and Bill. I pray that God will watch over all of the Politz family.
Art, obviously led a full and treasured life.
