Condolences from our family to yours.
I did not get to spend a lot of time with Uncle Art, but I do remember him at grandpa and grandma’s 50 wedding anniversary. The brothers and sister had so much laughter between them in this occasion it is a fond memory.
I am Sharon Lepper , Bill Lepper’s third daughter.
I hope the service was special and you had a chance to gather to bid a farewell.
Take care

As neighbors across the street, we missed seeing Art spend time outdoors last summer, and were sorry to hear of his passing. He was such a nice man.
Art will be missed in our neighborhood! He was a very kind caring man. So sorry.
