Laurie, Roger, Andrea, Kyle and families. Sorry to hear of your father's/grandfather's passing. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Doug & Mary Anne Hodgson
To Art's family; I have known Art all my life. He was a true friend to my brother, Les Austen. They had many an adventure together on their Sunday morning breakfast outings. When he was younger he lived in our community and accompanied a group who came over to our house and sang and played their guitars on Saturday nights. He will be missed, I know.

My deepest sympathy to all of Art's family especially Laurie and Jim. I will miss him coming into wardsville cafe almost every week to sit and have a coffee and bran muffin. Sometimes a really hot bowl of soup
He would bring us a Chatham -Kent newspaper talk about his winning tickets he had to go cash in and get more to scratch. We would talk about his love of old country music and his playing his guitar at different jamboree or get-togthers over the years.He mentioned many times of his grandchildren weekend visits.He brought me tomatoes and rhubarb from his garden.He will be missed for sure.
RIP Uncle Art. Always loved listening to you play your music. Laurie and Jim keep your memories close. Unfortunately I’m not home in time to be at the funeral. I will be thinking of you all.
Sending my condolences to Art’s family.
Thinking of you Josh, Hailey and Paiton, remember all the time and adventures you’s did with him.
Sending my Love Aunt Deb
