Condolence: Sending your family my sincere condolences. May you feel God's comfort at this difficult time.

Condolence: I first met Art in the conversation class at the Tri-State German- American Society. He was such a kind, gentle, and good-natured soul. Art was in charge for many years with making arrangements for the Bavarian band playing at the Oktoberfest. When the band's instruments were delayed in 2001 because of the 9/11 attacks, Art called me to ask if they could borrow instruments from my high school band. Thus began a many years association in which each year Art would call me and make arrangements to pick up the instruments, and each year he invited me to the block party and I could sit in with the band and play trumpet and try to speak Bavarian. After several years the band started playing concerts at the high school I taught at. Each year he would drive the musicians around town and stay for the concerts. His was a generous and giving spirit, and will be deeply missed!

Condolence: For many years Art was a beloved member of our Deutsch Heute class at the Tri-State German-American School. We will miss him and offer our sincere condolences to his family. Christa Bauke

Condolence: We were struck with a deep sadness upon hearing of Art's passing. We offer our prayers and condolences to the entire Pfefferkorn family and pray for a swift journey home to be with his beloved Ruthie. God bless you, Art.

Condolence: Pete, I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers. Diana
