I'm so sad for all of you but knowing Art will be with his Lord and saviour is a Blessing indeed. We'll miss his faithfulness sitting in his front pew on the left in front of his faithful family of several generations.

    My deepest condolences to your family in the loss of your devoted husband, father and grandpa. I grew up knowing the Faucon girls from school and church-- and I too, will always remember the entire family seated at their places in the left front rows of the church. As the years passed, that family group grew, along with the love and support for each other. Keep all the wonderful memories close to your hearts. I pray you find comfort and peace. Lean on the Lord.

    So sad and heart-broken to hear of my Uncle Artie passing away. I will always have fond memories of him. He's the kind of guy the world needs more of.. decent, hard-working, honest, generous, and kind. He loved his family and care for them with every fiber of his being. My thoughts are with Jane, Wendy, Sue, Ellen & Sally and their wonderful families.
