Art was born in North York, Ontario on March 31st, 1929 where he grew up with his family and attended public school. Art was known to have a vibrant personality with a kind heart. You couldn’t help but notice his beautiful blue eyes as soon as you met him. Throughout his life, Art was able to fulfill his passion of travelling with his wife Maye, visiting every province in Canada, and every state except Hawaii. Art loved playing golf and discovered a love for dancing at the local Cold Lake Senior’s Centre. He loved to collect Hesston belt buckles and did so for over 30 years. Some of Art’s proudest accomplishments in life was being a bowling champion and receiving a “hole-in-one” on September 29th, 1995. Art worked in many various trades and professions and gave himself the title “Jack of all Trades, Master of None”. Art expressed his deep appreciation to the Cold Lake Home Care nurses and aids, as well as the staff at the Cold Lake Senior’s Lodge and wanted to thank each and every one of them for all they have done for himself and his family. A Celebration of Life will be taking place on Tuesday, January 22nd, 2019 at 11:00 am at Celebrate Life Funeral Services. In leu of flowers, Art has asked for donations to be made to Cold Lake Home Care. May we remember Art by one of his favorite songs “I’ve Been Everywhere Man” by Hank Snow, “He loved to travel. He has always been a gentleman”. |
