Harry ‘Art’ worked as a laborer in the shipping department at Hopes Windows in Falconer, NY until his retirement due to ill health. He was an avid NASCAR fan with Jeff Gordon being his favorite driver. He also loved watching wrestling four nights a week and was a die-hard San Francisco 49ers fan. Art shot pool on numerous leagues in the Jamestown area for a number of years.

He loved spending time with his beloved dogs, Chevy and Princess, along with family and especially the lunch dates with his grandchildren were the highlight of his day.
