I have so many good memories of going to Jamestown when we were growing up and getting together with all the cousins, aunts, and uncles. We looked forward to that every year and still do. May you rest in peace, uncle Art. Your niece, Brenda

I have many good memories of my great-uncle Art. I remember going to Jamestown where we would visit the old farm. I also remember when he would come to Duluth to visit. He used to keep us kids in line by jokingly reaching for his belt and then laughing. during walks around Morgan Park, I remember Art would always keep us laughing by pointing out funny formations in the old elm trees. I'm sure you are now finding those same things in the clouds!

Dear Frances and Family, Art's memorial service was very nice. I am so glad we were able to be there. My mom enjoyed seeing her cousins, etc. It was nice to see my mom, Luxton, Burnett and Wilbert together. I'm glad Art's suffering is over and he is in a better place. You are in my thoughts often. Take care. Susan
