Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. We have many happy memories of sharing fun times with your Dad and Mom at Retread events. Over the years we hosted the breakfast in Shartlesville they were regulars. I remember once in awhile some of you came with them. We now live out of State and couldn't attend the service. We will remember them both forever. You were indeed blessed to have Art as a father, and Irene for a mother. Now they are together forever.

Remembering all the great times everyone had riding with Art and Irene from the Retreads Motorcycle Club. Art and Irene were a super couple. Lee and I will always remember them, and we thank them for all the enjoyment we had when we were on road trips and breakfasts. We are sorry that Art is gone from this earth, but we are sure Irene met him at the gates, and they will be together for always.
