Condolence: Art was a very special man who I feel very honored to know who he was from my youth...an older South Burlington kid that we looked up to and admired.....and someone who I was lucky to have fished with over many years. He always took time to share his fishing knowledge with everyone. Whether he knew you or not. He was a true Vermont Outdoor Sportsman and a legend on the water with a rod to many. I'm very grateful to have been a friend of Art Rye! His loss will be missed by many. Our sincere condolences for his loss to his wife Lexi and family. Mickey & Happy Dattilio

Condolence: Thoughts and prayers for the entire Rye Family.

Condolence: Our deepest condolences to Lexie and all The family. Art was one of a kind and will be missed by all.

Condolence: Dearest Lexie and Family, We shall always remember Art, his spirit, his frienship. People like Art don't come around often in this life, and Cindy and I were lucky enough to have him in our life. Send a turkey call through the heavens once in awhile just to let us know you are watching down...

Condolence: Lexie and family: Art was a true friend and always a fine gentleman. I am sorry to have him go but please remember him at his best .... a sincere, honest and respectful person.

Condolence: Dear Lexie and family, God bless Art. He was a wonderful person to know, a great smile and heart felt hello in a crowd and oh how he loved the outdoors. He leaves a large memory in all our lives. So sorry for your loss, miss you Art.

Condolence: My deepest condolences to your family, Lexie, Cassie, and Clint. What a special tribute to read about Art’s life. I never knew he was a SBHS grad. I will treasure the childhood memories I have. Sending you love and prayers.

Condolence: Dear Lexie & family…. Nan and I are so sad to learn of Art’s passing. You and Art are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Growing up in South Burlington, Art was a true, dependable friend and always a gentleman to be sure. He introduced me to woodchuck hunting and credited me with teaching him how to fly fish…a classic case of the student outshining the teacher. He will be missed.
