can anyone tell me what happened to art?

Arty loved Greece and often visited during the summer. As I understand it, the weather was quite warm when he was there and he had arranged to meet up with Don but when Don saw him, he sent him to the hospital in a cab. Arty had some underlying health issues and the heat was too much - he may have had heat stroke or a heart attack, I'm not really sure, but believe he died soon after reaching the hospital. Arty was a dear friend and I really miss him.

At this point in time, 53 sounds awful young to pass away doesn't it. I remember Art very well. We were good friends in High School but not much after that.
