Art was a fine gentleman and a valued friend. I worked with him for many years in the accounting department of Weirton Steel and there was none better. He will be sorely missed.
Pap-Pap’s two favorite things I can remember him liking the most was golf and ice cream. He was always up for a round of golf or a good old Dairy Queen. Pap-Pap you are sorely missed and I love you. Thanks for all the great memories. Love Heather
Our prayers and thoughts will be with you. God Bless
