Dear Helen and friends,
I only knew Art for what seemed a short time in the Akron Beacon Journal newsroom before he retired but he was a great copy editor and wonderful person. He knew a lot about the area and its people and always would help if you had a question. He will be missed. Sincerely, Olga Reswow

Art Cullison died July 26, 2012. When I
received notice that Art’s online funeral home guest book would be closed Aug. 3, a few days more than a year after his passing, I checked out who signed the guest book provided by the Beacon Journal.

I was amazed that only three people (I
was one) signed Art’s guest book. He was 92, so he out-lived a lot of his
friends, but I was surprised that more of his living former co-workers didn’t
chime in.
At least 10 BJ alumni did show up at
Billows Funeral Home to bid farewell to Art in person -- including photographer
Bill Hunter, the newsroom’s Carol Camp, Carl Dangel, Harry Liggett, Ann Sheldon
Mezger and husband Roger Mezger, Tom Moore, Lloyd Stoyer, John Olesky and
artist Chuck Ayers.
Art's wife, Helen Louise, was an English teacher. There must have been some intelligent conversations in the Cullison household.

I can’t let the anniversary of Art’s
passing go by, belated though I might be by three days, without calling attention again to one of most erudite copy editors – along with the late Hal Fry – in Beacon
Journal history.
RIP, Art.

Art
was erudite and, with Hal Fry, made the Beacon Journal copy desk perhaps the
most intelligent and accurate one west of the New York Times. I am sorry for
the loss to the Cullison family and to the Beacon Journal family. His passing
has been respectfully noted on the BJ Alums retirees blog on the Internet.
