Art lived a full vibrant life. He loved his “Art of Karaoke” business and spent many hours in “Papas Workshop” building special keepsakes. He enjoyed camping each and every year at Marco Polo Land. He was a NASCAR racing fan, loved his daily visits to the coffee shop in Rustico and visiting friends at “Little Art’s” garage. Art shared his wealth of knowledge of many trades helping endless friends. He loved his morning coffee chats with Linda on their deck. Papa was the best grandfather with all the kids by his gentle touch and bright smile. He will remain forever in our hearts. Until we meet again.
