I sure enjoyed square dancing with you and Art at our club. I know Art did a lot of good deeds and charitable work for your church. All we can ask is that good memories exist and last. Milton

Robin,
Art would come to St. Simon School to help John H. I really did believe John when he said he and Art were brothers!!
I knew when Art was in the building when I heard his boisterous laugh from my classroom…. I know God will enjoy his laugh as much as I did❤️

Robin,
Art was a TRUE gentleman. I have the pleasure of knowing you both through the Knights of Columbus. He was gracious and giving. He was respected by all who knew him and always made a new member feel welcome. Art’s laugh made everyone relax. He, along with that GREAT laugh will be missed. I bet that St. Peter is laughing along with Art as I write this.

I will definitely miss Art’s laugh, his generosity and good spirit. May he Rest In Peace! My deepest sympathy to the Kraatz family.
