He grew up in the Peace River country, joined the army and was overseas during WWII. Art returned to Vancouver after the war, where he met and married Iona.

Art had a love of nature and planted thousands of trees between their properties in Gibsons, Hixon and the farm at Dawson Creek. He will be remembered best for his great stories and quick wit.
Predeceased by his son Peter. He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Iona; sons William (Marina) and Michael, daughters Rebecca (William), Rachel (Bruce) and Kirsti (Michael); and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
