Art was a mechanic by trade and worked for both Ogden and North Ogden cities.

Art enjoyed the outdoors, hunting and fishing. He was active in his LDS ward and served in multiple callings. He was a member of the American Legion and was still participating in their activities.
He loved retired life, visiting all the local business employees, and his caf? buddies.
