    Best neighbors ever when we lived by them for years. Shared a few of Art’s home made beers at the fence when we were mowing. Quite the gardener & tree planter. Really talented guy. Loved birds, animals, & nature. We talked about his career in the Army as a Hellicoptor Mechanic, and everything else. Even helped Helga pick out a new tractor for him for a present. Art loved her dearly. Goodbye Old Friend!
