Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. I spent a lot of time at the house when Art and I worked at Raintree Lake together. I was always welcomed into their home and felt like part of the family. I especially enjoyed looking at the old radios that Arts dad had restored. They were beautiful like pieces of artwork. I will miss his smile and laugh, but will see it when Art smiles and laughs.
