I am sorry to hear that Art passed on. Although I didn't see Art and Millie very often as we got older I always enjoyed their company when they were around. When I was younger they were around a lot. Peace to two great people

Uncle Art, you were the best Uncle a girl could ever have. I loved you and Aunt Millie so much. I have so many great memories, of good times with you and Aunt Millie, both. You will be missed forever, but you can now go be with Aunt Millie, my Dad, and your Mom and Dad. I will love you forever. Roberta

Please accept my sympathy on the passing of your father and grandfather. I knew Art and Millie during their time a Good Shepherd. Art was a man of knowledge, wisdom, and kindness. One vivid memory I have is of the great job he did when he was called upon, at the last minute, to preach the Sunday sermon because the pastor had taken sick. I know that you miss him dearly, but I pray you will find comfort in your faith and in the love of family and friends.

What can you say about a man that taught you so much about life and love? Dad was the greatest and the best Poppa Davis my two boys could ever ask for.
