Our thoughts and prayers are with Artie's beautiful family. I have fond memories of Art and his woodworking skills. He was such a terrific person and will miss seeing him at the Mertz/Schumacher gatherings.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Dewald family. We knew Art for many years both with bowling and church. Art and Tilly were very dear to us as was Art and Alma. They would often sit in front of us in church and we enjoyed visiting with them. Art often helped out with the men's group at church and working or painting around the church grounds until he was no longer physically able to so. Rest in Peace Art.

Art was a good neighbor. He hired me to plow one day with one of his Oliver tractors. I can still see him driving by hauling a haystack so heavy that the Oliver had its front wheels floating in the air. God bless Art's family as you remember and cherish his life.
