I’m about to go to a funeral on Sunday for THE FIRST contributor to DiscoverUU.com: Art Dell.
He just gave. I didn’t have a chance to ask.
He’d heard me speak a few times at the Sepulveda Unitarian Universalist Society (The Onion) and is a former congregational president there. He’d worked as a school teacher for many years in the area and when he heard about this youth oriented plan, he cut me a check. There is quite an age difference between Art and me, but I was surprised at how short a distance our souls had to travel to find one another.
In a strange way he lives on through this site, having helped make it possible.
I will miss him.
Here are a couple of great Art Dell quotes.

Aaron,
You are in my thoughts and prayers, as well as your congregation. Art sounds like someone I would have liked.
Yours in Faith,
David

I’m so sorry to hear of Art’s death, Aaron. It’s hard to lose a friend like that; it leaves a hole in your life.
