Be content with what you have, for God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." So say with
confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid." - Hebrews 13:5,6

Art was the type of man that knew so much about so much! He loved sharing his life experiences, and was ALWAYS ready and willing to lend a helping hand. He was a great husband and father...he will be greatly missed! How blessed I am to have known him…

May the Lord grant you all peace and understanding.

A smile will always come upon my face when I think of Art and how he could light up a room. What a pleasure he was to work with !!We will all be comforted with forever memories.

What a class act!!! There are so many things I wanted to say, but I just want to remember Art for the truly real person that he was. There were no secrets who he was...he would let you know. Through all of the mountains he climbed, he never complained to everyone and he was always concerned about others. He was in the hospital and would always ask Don how I was doing. His main concern was that I not end up with the problems he was having. I appreciate that and I can still hear him when I start straying from my eating the right things.

I will miss Art but I feel so blessed that I got to know him. I'm also very glad that he was always there to encourage Don. We will so miss him.
