Art donated his old brown uniform for the Frontier Display 
(still in the works) at the Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson .
I knew his health wasn’t so good, but did not expect to see his Gone West tag

I just talked with Sean Hillis, Arts son. 
He said Art's death was caused by pneumonia. 
Sean drove Art to the Parker CO hospital last Wed. afternoon 
and Art died peacefully, Monday after noon about 3 with family at his side. 
Service arrangments have not been made at this time.

Flew with Art on the 580 when I first started flying. 
He was always a gentleman and enjoyed flying with him.
