I have ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease, which means in my case that I have neurological conditions where my nerves have lost control of my arms and hands and my voice is scratchy and hard to understand plus my throat will begin to constrict. Fortunately in NM we have medical assistance with passing and I will be using this in about a week. We will be having a Celebration of Life Service and Reception at 1st Presbyterian Church at 215 Locust St NE, Albuquerque, NM on April 6, 2023.
I have been fortunate to be raised by great parents in Pittsburgh, PA., have a great marriage with Breda Bova, have a daughter, Kate Van Yperen, 3 grandchildren, John, Adam and Natalie.
I have a brother, Charlie, who is married to Jan. Niece Melissa and husband Bryan, their children, Adi & Claire and her mother, Linda. Nephew Mikel and wife Ally and their son, Henry. Nephew Christopher and wife, Lindsey and their daughter Eli Mae.
I want to thank you for being great friends, supporters and helping me enjoy my family, you, residences, voyages, explorations, my career, experiences, and inspirations.
I want you to know that I will appreciate all prayers, communications, visits with understanding that I do not have use of my hands, I cannot talk for a very long time but I will enjoy any communications whatever.
I can't thank you enough,
Art Bova
