I held him in very high esteem as a colleague and friend, and I enjoyed chatting with him on many subjects during our 35 year relationship.

Dear Carmelina, Vytas and Joseph, I was so very saddened to hear of Art’s passing. I first met Art in 1988 @ the 3038 Hurontario location.

I wish all of you comfort and joy as you journey through your loss and peacefulness in knowing how much he loved you all.

From university days to student days in Hamilton, fogging mosquitos in the hope of reducing St. Louis encephalitis, sanitary surveys – that’s where you check for nasty stuff percolating to the top, and finally to Peel, Art was a constant – reliable, pleasant and professional. He will be missed by so many. My deepest condolences on your loss Carmelina, Vutas, and Joseph.

Art started at Hamilton Public Health as a student and then moved to Peel. I have known Art for well over 30 years from the day he started at Peel … both as a good friend and as his supervisor at Peel. We were proud of Art in 1984 as he went back to school at Ryerson and graduated in the first Environmental Health degree class.
Art was known as a hard worker, most reliable and a dedicated professional to his work in all general programs but had a special interest in entomology and insect identification as a licenced Pest Control operator. He will be dearly missed as he was Peel’s expert and lead identifier of mosquitoes (West Nile) and ticks (Lyme’s Disease). Art really enjoyed the job and was always eager to share his work experiences and expertise with colleagues. I always enjoyed taking a break from a busy morning to enjoy a coffee and comradery with Art.
Art always enjoyed doing after hours work, special assignments and was always eager to take on call shifts during holidays. He enjoyed doing inspections at the multicultural festival Carabram and after his work was completed, he would often visit the Italian Pavilion with his wife and family and enjoy his favourite dish porchetta with of course some libation.
Art also really enjoyed the outdoors and he always encouraged both his twin sons to follow in his footsteps with his passion of outdoor sports. Art was an avoid sports fisherman both on land, on the water and on ice. One of the best stories was when Art and his son Vytas were both ice fishing on a small local Brampton subdivision pond. They were approached loudly by both Brampton Fire (with sirens) and local By-Law Officers and asked them to immediately vacate the pond as it was against the rules. By-law also issued him a ticket. One year Art also won the largest Pike caught in an ice fishing tournament on Island Lake in Orangeville.
Also associated with Art’s love of angling was his other passion – taxidermy. Each year you would expect Art to be at the Toronto Sportsmen’s Show with his taxidermy items entered in the taxidermy contest and of course he normally came away with a ribbon or two, which he would proudly show off in the office. This passion also was picked up by Vytas who has followed his dad into the taxidermy hobby and has also had success in showing his talent at the Sportsmen’s Show.
Art will be dearly missed by all, but his impact and great memories will live on. Sincere condolences to his family.
Ralph and Wendy Stanley
Condolences to Carmelina and your family during this time of deep sadness.
I had the pleasure of working with Art in the Brampton office. He always made the office and monthly meetings so interesting and light with his sense of humour.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Sending my deepest condolences to you Carm, Vytas and Joseph.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Carm, Vytas and Joseph: I send my condolences to you. I remember the smiles every time Carm met up with Art, then married, then as man and wife moved to Brampton, then had 2 beautiful twin boys who’ll soon become responsible grown men! You’ll always have Art’s humour and fond memories with you!
There are not words Carm. Thinking of you and the boys and sending my condolences. Time and good memories will help you find your way through this terrible loss.
Carm I’m so so sorry for your loss. My heartfelt condolences to you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. May Art RIP and may you and your boys cherish all the beautiful times shared together🙏❤️
Dearest Carmelina, Vystas, and Joseph,
My heart breaks for you. Art always spoke about the three of you to me monthly. Family first, he would remind me and something we often talked about. His wealth of knowledge and conviction for our profession and passion, was respected and admired. He impacted so many PHIs and students for years. I am personally grateful I had the opportunity to work with him. He will be deeply missed on our team and never forgotten.
We got you❤️

Dear Carm..what a terrible shock when a loved one passes so unexpectedly. I was so saddened to get the news. I’m sure the boys

Thinking of you and wishing you the strength to keep on living the life I remember of you and the joy you bring to so many..your special joie de vive!!! Take care of you now!! Big hug..🤗
Hi Carm,
I was so sadden to hear the loss of your beloved Art.
He was a kind soul and I have fond memories of him at 3038. Art always said hello to me and we would chat on the elevator about the twins.
My most sincere sympathies to you and your boys as you travel through your profound loss. I’m sure you have beautiful memories tucked away in your heart.
Dear Camelina and Family,
Sending you my deepest condolences and sympathy for the loss of such a beautiful man. Art was a beloved teacher, colleague and friend. The wonderful memories of him will always remain. He is deeply missed. May you find peace and strength during this extremely difficult time. Take care
My deepest sympathy to the whole family.
Art will be very missed, a kind and honest man.
He always stopped to say hello to me and to sing “Oh Susana” to the well known tune.
May your family have peace during this time.
I will pray for you all.
So sad to receive this news at such a late date. My condolences to the family. Art was such a great friend at Ryerson, we laughed constantly, particularly at his dry sense of humour.
I enjoyed the great privilege of having Art as my best man at my wedding in 1985. He was a true gentleman and always encouraged me in a positive way. He was often in my thoughts and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Dad, it’s been almost 2 years. I just wanted to say i miss you. You’re little Pippo is doing just fine❤️
