He is also survived by his sister Betty (Vane) Orcutt of Fort St John, as well as numerous brothers and sisters in-law and numerous nieces and nephews.

Art was born and raised in Southern Alberta, but ultimately called Milk River home. For 21 years, Art was business partners with Melvin Douglas operating A & M Grocery Store. He was an active member of the Milk River Volunteer Fire and Ambulance and Disaster Services Coordinator of the Town of Milk River for several years.

He was a compassionate, thoughtful and honourable man who loved his family, his church and community. He loved the outdoors and took his family on many camping trips. He travelled to Europe four times, as well as Mexico and went on several family trips to the United States which was great, but the best part was always coming home.

He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend. He will be fondly remembered and lovingly missed for years to come.
