Upon retiring at the age of 65, Art and Ruth travelled across Canada and wintered in Arizona returning to Canada to spend summers with family and friends. In his last few years Art loved to keep busy working at the trailer park they lived at in Summerland. Then a move to 100 Mile where he helped feed the animals. If Art was sitting, there was always a cat or dog on his lap. Art passed away in Kamloops BC. He will be missed.
