Art was a kind and giving man that will be greatly missed. His smile! I loved to see him smile.
I remember him as a quiet, patient, and hard working man who loved his family, and would do anything to be sure they were happy and cared for.
He and Carol were like another set of parents to me and I’ll always treasure the time I had with them.
Thank you Art!
Love you Carol, Terrie, and Vicky!
