Art's favourite pastimes were spending time with family, and camping with friends for 36 years at Pine Cone Trailer Park. Art was a loving husband to Joan Blizzard for 41 years. She will forever be his "sweetheart". Art was a great husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He had a heart of gold and always made time to listen to everyone.
