Art was a veteran of the US Marines and served in Korea.
Art loved his farm and sharing it with family. His most cherished times were family 4-wheeler rides, hayrides, mushroom hunting and spending time at the creek.
Art got an A+ on every leaf project the grandkids ever turned in at school.
The grandkids were his pride and joy.
Art’s devotion as a care-giver to his wife, Colleen, taught us all the true meaning of “for better, or for worse”.
He was a role model for us all.
