He grew up in Marshall and was baptized as an infant at First English Lutheran Church. After school Art began working immediately and then enlisted in the United States Air Force in 1969, where he served his country during Vietnam, prior to his honorable discharge in 1974. On June 24, 1967, Art was united in marriage to Sadie (King) in Marshall. The couple made their home in Grand Rapids before moving around the state and then settling in Wilno, Minnesota. Art cared for Sadie’s 5 children and the couple added two more children to their growing family. Some years later, life took Art and Sadie to Arizona where they spent many years before returning to Minnesota in 2020. Art first worked for Appleton Silo and Swift & Company in Marshall.
