Vacations and times spent with his family are what Art cherished most. Whether it was fishing with his sons and grandsons on Lake Wallenpaupack every summer, or visiting his granddaughters in Texas sitting enjoying a dinner at T-Bone Tom's, Art was most happy when he was with his family.
Predeceased by his loving wife, the late Mary Diem, Arthur is beloved Father to Arthur Jr. ( Julie Ann), Andrew( Christina Marie),and Cheryl Moore ( Sean). Cherished Grandfather to Madeleine and Courtney Moore and Arthur III and Daniel Diem.
