a great man that had to be one of the hardest working men I've known and what he taught me. He would work on his farm, go to work at the Lone Star Brewery and to back to work at the farm, a never ending job. it was fun during firework season working all day long. I will forever be grateful and thankful for having had the fortune of knowing Mr. Van Overborg

Please accept my sincere condolences. I always enjoyed visiting with Art at the Waterford whenever I was there visiting my dad, Andy Kurie. It won't be the same without Art there. He left me with a lot of memories in such a short period of time...I'll miss you Art!
