Art also worked for many years as a Music Man with Gary Robertson Music. An avid sportsman, Art enjoyed the fellowship and competition of curling, most recently at Grain Exchange and with the T-Liners. He coached minor football and hockey for many years in Transcona. Art enjoyed being with young people and many of his former players fondly remember him. Art volunteered with many groups and was very giving of his time. He loved to spend time in Lac Lu with his friends and family, and spent many happy hours fishing and boating. More recently he enjoyed time spent at Sandy Hook. Art had a tremendous zest for life and laughter and fondness for a joke. He dearly loved his family and valued his many friends.

The tide recedes but leaves behind Bright seashells in the sand. The sun goes down but gentle warmth Still lingers oer the land. The music stops but seems to echo on in sweet refrain For everything that passes, beautiful memories remain. Arrangements entrusted to: GLEN EDEN FUNERAL HOME 4477 MAIN STREET 338-7111
