After retiring from GM, he worked an additional 15 years at ThreeBond, retiring a second time in 2006.
Art spent most of his free time with his family, traveling, camping, and trying to golf. He also spent time volunteering at church and attending to those in need, visiting hospitals and nursing homes. After his family, his well-organized workshop and garage were his pride and joy.
