Art and Beth were dear friends. As we missed Beth, we will miss Art. His kindness and generosity displayed his Christian character. Our sorrow is lessened knowing we will be with them in the presence of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Blessings to Art's family.. He was a wonderful man who loved the Lord as his personal savior. He loved his family, church, friends, and life. I loved teaching Sunday school with Art many years ago as he was a great mentor.
