Art was a true loving husband to Millie and adored he until his passing. Art was a true friend and I will always remember his kindness to me as Millie’s care provider I enjoyed the stories about his growing up . Unfortunately I was out of state when Art passed and didn’t get to say good bye to a precious friend. Rest In Peace always Art. Dollie

Arthur (and Millie) were my neighbors when I lived in Laf. Such sweet people. He never failed to wave a warm hello and often stopped to chat if I was in the yard working. Prayers for the family.

I met Art for the first time on August 14th 2010. I liked Art instantly, and consider him a friend. I will truly miss Art, and I look forward to meeting up with him in Heaven and talk baseball. Hopefully, we will even play catch.
