January 17, 1948 - June 28, 2024
Art had so many things he wanted to get done and so many projects he wanted to get finished, but cancer took over and he passed away on June 28th, 2024.
He leaves behind his loving wife of 51 years (Wendy), two daughters (his "stinkers") Mandy (Reece), Kerry (Jaret) his special grandson Torben, his sister Ally (Jim), his cousins in the Netherlands and many nieces and nephews.
Art had suffered with chronic pain over the years but he never complained. His happy place was in his shop working on various projects or working on his "Artmobile" which was his pride and joy. He didn't get it finished but he was able to drive it around the neighborhood and in the yard and always with a big smile. If he wasn't in his shop or working outside he was in the house woodcarving or on YouTube learning different ideas of how things were made and how he could make them better.
Art (Arty) was blessed with really good friends and he especially enjoyed his annual trips up to 70 Mile House with the guys where he loved to cook and was so happy to be out in the wilderness.
He had a mind of his own and, as per his request, he did not want a service.
Thankfully, he is now pain free.
He will be missed so much!
