Mr Art Helding will always be in my thoughts and prayers! We use to ride our bikes to confession from South St to St Joseph on Saturday and this Saturday back in the 1960s a wicked storm came from nowhere! My older sister Mary Anne said I was riding too slow so she sped up and left me alone. When I got to Eros St and Melvin the strong gust of wind and rain caused me to fall of my bike and Mr Helding came out picking me up and drove me home in his car!
Mr and Mrs Helding were long time friends of my parents Bob & Lorraine Seitz and they were so grateful for his assistance that day!
He was a kind soul! My condolences to his family and friends. RIP and I´ll be praying for you!
