He was a member of the Revolution Church, the Royal Center Masonic Lodge and the American Legion Post 60. An outdoors enthusiast, Art leaves behind many fishing and camping memories. He was always up for a good game of Euchre, and he could outlast anyone on the dance floor.

Surviving are his children, Melissa (Chad) Smith, Peru, Howard (LeeAnn) Schmock, Wisconsin, and Steve (Diana) Sutton, Logansport; one sister, Sylvia Coppernoll, Logansport; fourteen grandchildren; and twelve great-grandchildren.
