How I have always loved Uncle Art's laughter and the way he made my mom, his sister Katherine, laugh. I remember mom sharing some pictures one day and pausing over one of Art and saying, "I love that man so much." I loved his love of and joy in his family. I was inspired by his travels. I thought of him during this morning's Easter celebration and knew he was alive and whole and joyful ... and I hurt for you his family. I know you know the separation is temporary, but I know, too, that the loss is huge. I'm so grateful for Uncle Art and for you all. ~Sue (Wessel) Vaal

A dear friend and neighbor! One of those people you were always glad to see coming in the driveway. So community minded. He kept that adventurous spirit all his life. He didn't just live life he celebrated it! His faith and family meant so much to him and he meant so much to us! we are certain he will hear those words we all hope to hear as Christians, "Well done thou good and faithful servant" Our prayers are with you all!
