I have many fond memories of traveling to Texas to visit Art & Nancy over the years.
I believe my first trip was at the age of 12 years old. And now at the age of 58, I can’t believe that I won’t hear another story told by the best storyteller I have ever known.
It seems as though you always have a special connection to certain relatives and Art & Nancy were my favorites. We had the opportunity to spend time with him here in Pennsylvania last fall, and I am so glad that we did.
I can’t help but think that you & Nancy are visiting with mom & dad right now.
Rest in peace Art.
Our hearts are broken, our friend and good neighbor has gone home. We will most certainly miss your vibrant smile and heart of gold. The wonderful homemade bread, the fatherly advice and the long talks will forever hold a special place in our hearts. We are truly blessed to have known your Mr. McGuire.
Art and Nancy were our neighbors when we lived in Whitesboro. When we first moved to the neighborhood Art was so kind to bring us some freshly baked bread. When our kids were outside in the backyard playing he would stop and visit. Then at FUMC we would always hug his neck or catch up with him over a slice of pie. Heaven gained another servant cause he was always willing to help others with a smile. See you again neighbor.
