Dad passed away peacefully at home on June 9th with his family beside him. In true Art fashion, he went out of this world the way he wanted. While we know he is experiencing Heaven's wonders and embracing family and friends who have gone before him, we are left with a void that only he could fill. Dad was a man that many aspire to be. His determination, hard work and perseverance are things we not only admired but strived to attain. Dad had many talents and accomplished so much in his 91 years. To say that he loved his job as a Lead Line Electrician at Tacoma City Light was an understatement. What many people don't know is that he was also a Veteran in our United States Armed Services. He loved to work hard and play hard, whether it be hunting, camping, fishing or riding his Honda motorcycle. After retirement he and Mom spent many years traveling in their motorhome and enjoyed some of the Country that neither had seen.
Dad and Mom shared everything in their 67 years of marriage, right down to ice cream or dessert after dinner. He was so proud of us as a family and I am sure he has given my brothers Gary, *Stephen and *Mark many hugs since he joined them. (*Stephen and Mark passed away shortly after birth).
Dad always teased that the song "How Great Thou Art" was about him, but to us it's true.
We love you Dad, until we meet again, Rest in Heaven
