Art loved fixing things in his spare time whether a pair of scissors or a tube tv. He also had a lovely tenor singing voice that he shared in the church choir, quartets, solos and on the radio. Art had a generous heart for those in need and gave to people anonymously as well as supported many charities.
He and his wife celebrated their 70th Wedding Anniversary in September 2022. Above all, Art's faith in Jesus Christ was what guided and sustained him throughout his life. He was deeply devoted to his family and will be dearly missed but his legacy will continue through them.
