Watching Art dominate Notre Dame to lead a 2-8 Syracuse team to victory is etched in my memory. 39 is just way too young.

As others have said- really, really lousy week.

Prayers to his family. RIP

Arthur Jones and Mike Williams both gone before 40. How incredibly sad.

I am heartbroken by Art’s passing. He always appeared to be a kind and caring person. He and Chan had given back to the program.

I feel in love with Cuse football at the worst possible time, the GROB era, and Art’s performance at ND was a big part of that.

Per the Ravens.

RIP, great player during a brutal time for SU. Never forgot that ND performance.

From what I always heard, a great guy.

And, a great SU player.

This has been a tough week.

This has been the worst week imaginable for su sports, way too young. Terrific player and great guy rip.

Met him a few years ago down in Florida for a conference. Obviously strikes up a convo about Syracuse and his brothers. Great guy. Didn’t know me at all but told him about my Cuse and Rochester connections and we talked for 20 minutes m. Awesome dude. Sad
