So sorry to hear of Art passing. He was a good man. May he be in peace.
Art will be missed everyday. He was a great guy and I am thankful that he was a part of my life and the lives of my family. There will not be a day of hunting that goes by without thinking about all the memories of him and the good times that always included Uncle Art.
