Uncle Art was a very loving and kind man. His family was very important to him. I remember him driving all the way to California just to meet my first grandson when he was born. He loved the great outdoors. One of his passions was fishing which he enjoyed doing with his family. I enjoyed our many visits through the years. He will be deeply missed. I love you Uncle Art. May you rest in peace. Love your niece, Darlene.

He was an awesome & loving brother. I loved him very much. I will miss him deeply. We were always very close and I shall never forget him. I remember when we lived in Chariton, Iowa out in the country and he was sick (mumps) and I spent hours at his side just talking with him. My memories will keep him alive forever. I love you Art and I will miss you. Love your sister, Anna
