When he was 13 his family relocated to Vancouver, BC. At the age of 17 Art joined the Merchant Marines. Art later moved to Bralorne, BC to become an underground miner. It was here he met his loving wife, Millie. After mining he went on to be a tree faller working in the interior of BC. He eventually settled in Ashcroft, BC, where drove truck for years before becoming the plant manager and cement truck operator for Norgaard Ready Mix.

Those who knew Art, will remember his generous nature, huge smile, wonderful stories and quick sense of humour. He was a talented self taught musician, and has blessed his family with several home recordings of him playing the guitar, banjo, and fiddle. He also had a passion for recording moments with pictures, leaving behind multiple photo albums for the family to cherish.

Love Always
