Dear Brother, how I will miss you. So many years of joys and heartaches shared together. Lots and lots of music of all kinds, naturally; but in recent years there was a shared love of birds. Online birdcams at Cornell Lab of Ornithology – we “hatched” many a Great Blue Heron, Red-tailed Hawk, Bluebird, Hummingbird, and Bald Eagle chick together! Your brother-in-law, Lincoln, will miss baking bread for you – “…the best bread on the planet,” by your estimation. Your devotion to all of our family knew no bounds; I will never forget that.
As I said to you on October 16th, when you sent us off on another journey, “Thanks a million for everything, as usual.”

Diane and I send our deepest condolences to Art’s entire family, and especially to our dear lifetime friend, Patti. Art made an indelible impression on me as a teenager. He was just “cool.” He cared about people in a kind and considerate way. I observed how he treated his mother Fay and his sister with such respect and care – a real gentleman! He has left us way too soon, but we will always remember his quiet ways and the twinkle in his eye. Rest in peace, Art, until we meet again.
Dear Brother Art,
It seems to me you overcame a lot, starting with the taunts and teases of two surprised older brothers that arrived in the world a decade ahead of you. I remember you overcame nephritis as a kid…that was no fun….and I remember that in following my footsteps as a water skier you sustained a back injury that chronically plagued you in your later years. Nothing stopped you though, you became an accomplished musician, snow skier, water skier, expert computer guru that kept Boeing’s personal computers humming. But most of all you became a wonderful father and family man.
With your (and our) beloved Patricia Telgenhoff Pease you raised three beautiful and accomplished daughters and two grandchildren that are beloved of the entire family. We miss you deeply and are sorry for ourselves (and each other) that you had to leave us early but we take some comfort that you are at peace and rid of the physical suffering that you endured. God bless you brother and thanks for all the wonderful memories.

Hello, My grandmother was a sister to John Pease, Daughter of Arthur Pease. During this Covid-19 shutdown I was trying to do a little research about my family and just thought I would reach out in case any family would happen to see this and want to discuss history. Thank you and my condolences for your loss.
