'I always remember Mr. Jimenez with a smile. He always seemed to be laughing and smiling. I can truly say that he was a man who loved life. The world is a better place having had him in it.'

'Uncle Art will be missed at our family gatherings on Creekline. He always had lots to say and no one was ever safe from his teasing. He always wanted to know what his nieces and nephews were up to and never forgot our interests. He was always ready to lend me another paperback book. 
Aside from being a great uncle, he was also a loving grandfather. The last thing I ever heard him say was "I love you, Jonathon" to his grandson on Christmas Day. I clearly remember seeing him bend down to hug and kiss Jonathan good-bye. Being a grandfather or "PeePa" was another one his many great achievements--one that I will never forget.'

'To the Jimenez family, please accept my sincere condolences on your loss. I knew Arthur dating back to the day I started working at the Post Office in 1981. How could I not notice the snoring and make shift sign that read "do not disturb - Sleeping" while he was keying on the LSM Letter Sorting Machine during the night shift. Art was truly a special person. We had a West Point connection when my older son decided to attend the academy. When Art discovered that both my sons were runners, he would make it a point to let me know that he had read the newspaper articles about them. He even found time around his busy schedule to attend my son's cross country meets as well as their track meets. He definitely took time out for others. Art, you will be missed.'

'I would like to express my sympathy to Art's family. I have worked with Art since 1986. Whenever I was around Art, his laugh was so infectious, and his stories were so funny. He was such a joy to be around. I feel my life has been enriched by having known Art. I will trully miss him, but his memory will always be with me.'

'It has been a great pleasure to have known and work with you.You will be miss by me a lots. May God bless your family'

'With all my simpathy to Art Jimenez family,I will miss him a lot, God bless him.'

'I've worked with Art for over 8 years now and took care of his computer problems here at work. He was always one of the most upbeat persons I knew, always had a story or a joke and never had anything negative to say. I will miss him a lot.'

'I'll never forget you Uncle Arthur and how you supported me when I joined the Army. You always said to keep a good attitude and everything would work out. How can I forget those Saturdays in your back yard when you first bought the house on Viva Max. Those were long, hot afternoons and although you were tough on me at times, you always made it a point to tell me what a good job I had done when you took me back home. I'll never forget that. Rest in peace.'

'My deepest condolences and sentiments are with Mrs. Sylvia Jimenez and children, and also with the families of his brothers and sisters. The Jimenez Family will be in my thoughts and prayers. That you may have strength and courage during this sad time in your life. May Our Lord's peace and love be with you always to console you.

'I am so glad I had an opportunity to have worked with Art even for a short time while I was working in procurement at the Waco Post Office. He was one of those people that could make a bad day not seem so bad and a good day even better. He genuinely cared about people and would go out of his way to help someone. He will be greatly missed and I know he was warmly welcomed in heaven. 
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May God, family, and time ease your sorrow.'

'In loving memory of Uncle Arthur. We'll miss you.'

'For the 18 years that I have worked at the Post Office in Austin, I have always been able to rely on Art for support, information and most of all, a smile. He will be missed.'

'I only know Arthur G. Jimenez through pictures his son, 1LT Arthur E. Jimenez, showed me while we were in Iraq together. I just want to say that my prayers are with the Jimenez family.'

'Dear Family, I'm so very sorry for your loss. I'm sorry we could not be there during this time but I'm glad I was able to spend time with him before his time in heaven. I know he'll keep everyone laughing up there! He'll always have a special place in our hearts. In loving memory of Uncle Arthur. We'll miss him. Love, Laura Mullins'

'I enjoyed Art's positive spirit and quest for life during our visits together. He always demonstrated high moral and ethical standards and became a mentor to many.

'Thank you Arthur for being a friend. You were my friend and my mentor in this crazy job of ours. You will be missed greatly.'

'mr.jimenez was a joy to work with at the postal service & was a greater joy to have known him on a personal level.he will be sorely missed by his postal service family at the district bldg.may god now welcome him into his family & bless him & his family.our deepest sympathy goes out to his family.signed,juan a.aguilar tacs timekeeping office district bldg.sa.tx.78284'

'My uncle Arthur was one of the best men I have ever known. I usually invited my friends to attend my parent's annual Christmas party. Although Arthur didn't know any of them, he would always greet each one of them personally, as if they were his old friends. He always made everyone feel welcome at any gathering. That is a trait of a true gentleman. I will miss him very much.

'I knew Art through the Postal Service, and talked to him many, many times on the phone. I will remember his humor and delightful disposition -- he always had a joke or a funny story. He will be missed! You have my deepest sympathy, and may the love of family and friends be a source of comfort.'

'It is hard to just speak about one or two things when it comes to my uncle arthur. He always had a joke ready for you at all times. He was willing to help anyone at any time when they needed it. When you asked him he was there. I will fondly remember my numerous lunches with him and mom at Jims. I called him my "pseudo lawyer" because of all the letters he helped me to write. He was like a second father to me. What I admired most about him was his ability to think so quick on his feet! I wish I could do think like that. He also was so proud of all his kids and their accomplishments. I am so glad that he was able to meet Trey my fiancee. Trey said that Arthur really did make feel so comfortable. Trey also said that Arthur made him to feel like a part of our family. It was a long week at the hospital but at least we got to say tell him our stories,good byes, and reconnect with our family too. He will be dearly missed by us all. Our prayers are with Sylvia, Tobey, Mark, and Robin.

'I am presently working at Detroit Mi; therefore, I will not be able to attend Art's services. I wanted to extend my sincere condolenses to the entire family. Art was truly devoted to his family. He was a dear friend and I will miss him. He was always there to listen to my frustrations at work and I was there for him too. Losing a loved one is very painful but Arthur is now resting in the heavens and without pain. My sincerest apologies for not being able to attend. My thoughts and prayers are with you.'

'My deepest sympathy to the entire Jimenez Family. May you be comforted by one another during this time of sorrow. 
Sincerely, 
Liz Salgado-Martinez 
Colleague of Mrs. Jimenez'

'Art was my counterpart and friend for over 20 years with the Postal Service. He will be cherished in my heart forever. My prayers are with you.'

'I work in the Facilities Department for the Postal Service and have known Art for over five years. I assisted Art with contracts, mostly over the phone. When he would call to ask for help, he always made me smile with his friendly greeting, a funny joke or a good story about San Antonio. I was also born in San Antonio and was always happy to visit with Art. This past year I no longer worked in the contracting area so I lost contact with him. To all of the family and friends, my deepest sympathy. I am very proud of the life he led, his service to the Postal Service, our country and his love and devotion to his family. May Art rest in peace. He will be remembered in my thoughts and prayers.'

'To the family, please accept my sincere condolences. My connection with Arthur was via our employment with the San Antonio Post Office, and goes back about 20 years. I will miss his sunny disposition and especially his "jokes".'

'My love to Sylvia and Robyn and their family. I will never forget the wonderful words of praise that Mr. Jimenez wrote about me to my principal the year after I taught Robyn.'

'I emailed my cousin Karen and told her that I'll always think of Uncle Arthur coming home for the holidys in his snazzy dress whites when he was still in the military. My cousin Laura and I would run to him screaming "Uncle Arthur!" as he walked in the door and he would joke to everyone that he had to greet his "Fanclub" first. Later as I grew older I'd hear him referring to me and Laura as "Las Dos Wercas" and eventually "Las Dos". At most events, Uncle Arthur was the life of the party---always teasing, laughing and ready to get out on the dance floor. We love you and we'll miss you Uncle Arthur. My prayers are with my Aunt Syliva and cousins Jenny, Tobey, Mark and Robyn.'

'My prayers are with you and your family. God gives us strength to get through the toughest of times.'

'May the Lord be with your family during this time of sorrow.'

'My memories of Uncle Arthur will be his sense of humor and good nature. I will truly miss him. I can see him now dancing in the heavens alongside Grandpa and Grandma Jimenez. He's home....'

'Working with Arthur was a true pleasure. Arthur always stopped and greeted all around him and never stopped talking about his children. He was very proud of each and every one of them. Arthur will be missed. May God have him in his arms and bless all his family.'

'Shipmate: 
On your change of duty stations, may you always experience Smooth Sailing and Fair Winds. 
We're going to miss you.

'Arthur and I spoke on the phone two weeks ago and though his health was deteriorating rapidly, he was still in good spirits and joking as always. This is my last remembrance of him and I am glad. As I think about our last conversation together, it reminds me and leaves me with the memory of Arthur's personality: happy and fun-loving. Arthur was also a very caring person. I remember he would come and see my father Nick every time he became ill. He always made time to come and visit his uncle Nick and they loved to talk about boxing since they both loved the sport. He would often crack us up with his stories and jokes. A funny story about Arthur was when he went to see my father at the hospital and made him smile in spite of the fact that he was very ill. He went to the hospital to see him and when he arrived, he told my father with a straight face, "Tio, cuando me dijeron que estabas enfermo, me vine corriendo,pause de la cantina". 
Arthur was also my dancing partner at many of the family functions as he was with so many others that liked to dance like him. 
As everyone knows, Arthur liked to kid around: he frequently greeted my cousin Gloria and I with "Hey wercas feyas!".

'I met Arthur in elementary schoolJT Backenridge. I remember seeing his excitement when he won the GG Novice Championship TV. When he went to Harlandale HS I stayed at Lanier. I also lived for a couple of years on Viva Max. I remember little Arthur getting out of the house and running down the sidewalk & Arthur running after him. I also remember Arthur jogging in the neighborhood. Later he told me how proud he was of his daughter that graduated from Holmes HS and went to UT Austin. He was always proud of all his wife & family. Arthur remained the same HONORABLE man all his life. Our deepest sympathy to ALL of HIS family. MR & MRS Ramiro Martinez & family.'

'My deepest condolences on your loss. May the Lord bless you with everlasting peace, understanding and strength to guide through this time.

'Our deepest condolences to the Jimenez family. Arthur, will always be in our thoughts. May he rest in peace.

'Gonzales Family 
We were deeply proud of Arthur especially during the last few years when my family became closer to him. Our beloved Dad was very proud of all his accomplishments and always spoke very highly of him. I will personally miss him in all our family events. He was one of few that had class and style. Our sympathies are with all the Jimenez family.'
