Art was a very kind man, always ready to help and had very high standards. I will never forget his kindness. - Posted by: Marie-Louise Kmety (Friend) on: Feb 19, 2015

Art worked with Erma's dad many years ago. Dad always said Art was so eager to learn, so ready to help, so hardworking and earnest. These are attributes any employer would have trouble finding in one individual today. The love of Jesus Christ during trials in Art's life would always take centre stage. Onto your reward, good and faithful servant! So sorry, for Lorraine, the boys, and family. - Posted by: Lawrence & Erma (friends) on: Feb 12, 2015

My deepest condolences to Lorraine, Bryan & Richard. Art would always say 'Juliet, you have such warm hugs!' I will always cherish that. Now He's getting hugs that are warmer than anything on this earth! Rest in peace, my friend... - Posted by: Juliet (Friend) on: Feb 10, 2015
