I don't know where to start ..... all I know is that my best friend has left and he will never be back!!! This man was a true man solid person. As Scott mentioned ...... A devoted man to his FAMILY, GOD, FRIENDS & COUNTRY!!  I am all choked up just writing this about him. I considered Art as a brother more than a friend and I will miss him!!

GOD BLESS YA ART !!

Jimmy or Rawlings ...........  if there is anything Chris and the kids need please let me know.

Man o man........

A friend called me this morning and told me the news.  I couldn't, and still cant, believe it. 

Art was an awesome dude and one of the few real wheelers that was not afraid to pack up and go on cross state or cross country wheeling trips.   We had even talked about a trip out to EJS one of these years when our deployment schedules allotted time.

I am glad that I can say "I know Art Lilley"

RIP brother......

SFC Rob U.  3rd SFG(A)
