Art had a 41-year career in the Canadian Armed Forces where he served in peace keeping duties and as a Vehicle Technician. He began his career in the junior ranks and proudly retired as a Captain. During his service he received many medals and awards, including the Order of Military Merit from the Governor General.
Art was also a longtime member of the Knights of Columbus. There he served as a Grand Knight and undertook many different roles and positions. He was a regular face at different events the Knights held and hosted an annual Halloween party for the children and grandchildren of his fellow Brothers. He was also active with the Right to Life. He recently received the Medal of Merit for his dedication.
He was known for his woodworking and so many families and children across the country have been gifted some of his treasures, whether it be a rocking horse, a lighthouse, or a pirate chest (and even a wooden mustang). Nothing brought him more joy than knowing the happiness he created for others through his projects.
Art has touched so many lives in ways and his passing will leave a mark on everyone he came in contact with.
