Uncle Art was always loving and encouraging. When I was younger he would come to Mobile, Al. to visit Grandma Lant. I would constantly ask him to throw me in the air, play with me, and I would read to him. Love you Uncle Art you will be missed. Heaven has gained a new angel. Now you can go to Alaska and get those Moose (out little joke). When I lived in Alaska he used to joke with me about coming up there and getting a Moose. God bless you! You have brought the cousins together and we've became more closer. Thank you Uncle Art for sharing your life and soul with us.
