Art enjoyed watching his children, grandchildren, and great grandson show cattle at the fairs.  He was also the biggest fan of watching his grandchildren play sports.  You could always count on Art to be watching his grandsons and great grandsons’ ice and dirt bike racing. 

If you came to see Art, he would either be driving his tractor or listening to polka music.
