I had the great fortune to have worked with  Art Skinner at the Kleissler Company in Lakeland, Florida in 2001.  Art was a friend to all.  He was kind, reserved, well-mannered, articulate, intelligent, had a witty and happy sense of humor, and a great personality.  He was also an excellent engineer, CAD design expert.  Art was the quintessential colleague and most people looked up to him as a brother... a kindred spirit dwelled within this good man.  I lost touch with him and this morning, while preparing for my day, I just thought to google search for him.  I'm deeply saddened to learn that he's left us...but I'm well-heartened to  have worked with Arthur -- an exemplary kind and worthy human being .  --Gary Newbold

It’s been a long time -we didn’t know you passed away-  our loving thoughts and sympathy to your family and friends.  See you on the other side my friend. Steph & Cat. 

Art was a charming and wonderful man. He will be greatly missed by our family and to all who knew him.

There are no words to express the amount of joy you brought into the lives of everyone you met. We could not have been any happier to have welcomed you into our family. I will be forever greatful for the love you had for my mother, I have never seen her happier then when she ws with you. We love you Art and will miss you everyday. Until we meet again!

Art was our good friend and part of our family for nearly 50 years. Art and Bill stayed close all those years, visiting and frequently talking on the phone. We miss him greatly.

In 1964 we had fun, in 2014 we had more fun at the reunion...don thurlow.

Art was my soul mate, best friend and love. He was an awesome man and we had a wonderful life together. I miss him terribly but have great memories and appreciate everything about him. Words cannot express the happiness we shared.  I love you forever dahling !  Debbie

Art was a amazing, fantastic,  extraordinary, loving, kind, smart human. He will always have a special place in my life. He will be greatly missed. We love you and miss you Art!!

I don't think I've ever met a nicer man in all my life. We worked together for years and everyone here was so fond of him. He is not only greatly missed but will continue to be missed. God bless you and your family. Michelle Mills-Kemco Systems
