I will greatly miss Artie. We worked together in District Court for a while and it didn’t take long to see what an amazing man he was. His intellect, his ability to recall and his incredible memory served him and the court so well. We continued staying in touch after his retirement and remained friends. He was a thoughtful and loyal friend and I will always treasure his memory. I know he is missing Linda and the other folks he held dear. Rest easy my dear friend.

I am trying to send this again.
My tribute to my Precious one.
As I pause at the threshold of my life before and my future to come, I am reflecting on the wonderful and fulfilling 20 plus years that Precious Art and I shared together. Oh what special years.
When we got together, he told me that no matter what it takes he would always make sure that I was able to hear and understand what he said to me. He kept that promise up to the end.
On that Monday night February 1 when I went to see him, I could barely hear him as his voice was so low but he tried so hard. I kept hugging him and putting his arm around me and he started rubbing my shoulders. I don’t want to say good-bye as I know we will see each other again.
But I want everyone to know how special this man was and still is, and what great joy and happiness he brought into my life and what an honor and privilege for me to have been part of his life also.
Art is my soulmate and will be forever and a day.
We trained wit our dogs together, he was my support through my cochlear implant surgeries, we read books together. I even read a couple braille books to him.
I still picture him sitting beside me in his recliner and as we listened to a book, sometimes he would fall asleep and start snoring. Hahaha. I would tell him to stop snoring. He would say I’m not. Haha. And by the way, I am using his “favorite spoon.”
Precious had a very remarkable memory and it served him well throughout his life.
He was a remarkable man and full of life. When he was diagnosed with Stage III lung cancer, he met it head on. The cancer met its match. The doctors and staff at the Cancer Center were just amazed at how well My precious Art handled the radiation and chemotherapy.
We both have met many challenges over the years and we had lots of fun too. He told me many stories of his life in District Court and how much he loved his job.
Art, my precious one, the condo is a lonely place without you there, but rest assured I will be okay. Sherry and Richard and our friends and I am so very thankful that you are now well and free from pain. You can now walk and see. You can now run around with JJ, Dusty, Charcoal and Shirley.
God bless you my dear heart, and rest in peace. Remember, Arthur Robert Nolden, I love you forever and a day. We will hold each other again some day.
Your loving Princess Admiral
My eulogy to my Precious one
From the first moment Rich brought me to meet you, you were so welcoming. You greeted me with a warm hug and a "Free Hug" card. I was only blessed to have you in my life for three years, but you filled those three years with funny and loving moments. Every visit ended with a hug, and a laugh. You welcome my children into the family as if they had always been there. I still tease Rich by saying "Blink, blink" when we turn and will carry on that tradition in your memory. lol. I smile when I think of the random things we talked about on the phone, and especially when I think about last years birthday when you and Linda called me and sang "Happy Birthday" to me. It was so unexpected and meant the world to me. I will miss so many things especially you saying "Hugs to Sherry" when you are going to hang up the phone and asking for me as soon as we arrived at your house. You've shared so many bits of knowledge and trivia. I love you and miss you everyday. You left us way to soon. Hugs to dad.
Art was a major contributor to the SWC emails. He kept us updated on Florida weather around Tampa. He always had amusing antidotes to share. And whatever historical note for the day. I was hoping to meet you in person one day. We all miss you Art and your stories about your devoted Princess Linda and JJ, your Guide dog by the sea.
