Dr. Art Bobis was a friend, visionary and mentor.
I worked for Art at RHC/Spacemaster and he not only guided me through my career, but also took an interest in my personal life.
We had many common interests like model railroading, theater and mathematics.
I feel lucky to have known him and he will be truly missed.

I met Art in the Summer of 2000 when I was asked to assist him in the ongoing construction of his model railroad. It began as a working relationship but quickly became one of two colleagues working on a common vision in his basement. Art was a skilled artist regarding his work on miniatures and models. And he had a wonderful vision of how that miniature world should appear in the form of towns and highways, night scenes and marching bands.

We shared a common background in musical theater though sadly I came around too late in his life to see him perform.

He loved his family and I shared in those stories and relationships many times over the years. His love and commitment to Shirley was unmatched especially in her later years.

He was a great gentleman to me, insightful, encouraging, and supportive. He honored me by trusting me to care for his home needs as well as his artistry. Art has been in my thoughts and a part of my life for over 23 years and will remain there for the rest of my life. That itself speaks to the quality of man he was.

I can only imagine how his passing must have impacted his family and I hope in time that their memories of life with him will heal the pain of his loss.
May Art and all the family be at peace in the time to come.
