Jenny, I worked with Art for many years at the Argus office, and although you might not remember me, you welcomed me into your home to stay the night. Art always told me "Girl, if the roads are too bad, you can always come and stay at our house". Well, there was a bad storm and the highway was closed, so I took him up on that offer. You gave me supper, found me a pair of pajamas and gave me the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. Thank you for that. Art was so special, he is in my thoughts often and I will always remember him with such fondness.

Such a kind man that always cared about our family. I will miss hearing your voice when I call Health Trek and the first thing out of my mouth was “did you quit smoking yet?”. Made you laugh each time. God bless you, Art.

Art, I first met you 30 years ago in 1994 while both Jenny and I were in the Cell Phone business , her with MTS and myself as MTS dealer. We had so many great times in Mexico with you and Jenny. Laughter was always on the table when you and I got together. The closing of the swim up bar, after the bartender had to leave, and entrusted us to close it up when we were done, to our golfing shenanigans. Art there were so many good times, I could write a book about our escapades. Art you will always be a Prince of a Gentleman. , and a great friend 🙏🙏🙏 ,

Art I’m going to miss seeing you and Jenny come in to eat. I loved hearing your stories about you and my grandpa John. I’ll miss our back and forth bantering. I’ll miss making sure to let Jenny know when there was fruit pie so that you had to sit and stay even longer lol. I’ll miss hearing you say “thanks again kid it was good to see ya” with a wink and that smile. You were always one of my favourites and I love you. Sending all of my love and condolences and hugs to Jenny and all of Arts family and friends.
