Jean, Barbara, and Family. We want to extend our deepest sympathy. We have wonderful memories of Art and Jean when we lived in Pine Grove. Our children remember Uncle Artie and Auntie Jean to this day. What a beautiful family he left. We pray for you now, Jean. God bless everyone. We will be attending service Wednesday.
It is with great sadness that I learned of Arthur's passing. He was a great guy and a great friend to me. He will be missed.
Auntie Jean, Barbara & family….I was so sorry to hear about Uncle Art's passing. I will always remember having our conversations at the back fence with Shaggy and Becky standing right beside him…my mom, dad & our family extend our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
