I remember Dad mentioning his visit with Eugene. He enjoyed himself….going to the fair I think? Anyway. Thank you.
Eugene and I just got back in touch with Art this past summer. He was so nice to us and invited us to come to his house and visit. It meant so much to Eugene to be able to catch up with his cousin Art. Please know his family is in our prayers.
Art and I worked together in the crop insurance industry for many years. He was so full of knowledge and always ready to teach and share is expertise. My deepest condolences to his family.
