Art was a kind man, a gentle giant, who loved others genuinely, unassumingly, and intentionally. He faithfully took care of other’s needs before his own and had a quiet presence that was loyal and reliable. He was a mentor to many, and they considered him a true friend. He loved the Lord deeply, and his love for others flowed out of longing for those around him to know and experience Christ’s deep love. His greatest treasure on earth was his Beloved, Donna, and he couldn’t help himself in singing her praises and proudly sharing his favorite photos of her to everyone he encountered. Their love was rich in the Lord, and their greatest blessing is in the fruit of their children and grandchildren. He wanted everyone to know that “while I was still a sinner, Christ died for me.” Romans 5:8
