Art was on of those people who leave a HUGE hole behind them when they leave us. The world was a better place for him having been here and is a sadder place now that he is gone. Financially he was not a rich man, but he was wealthy beyond measure in the things that matter most in life. He left an indelible mark on many people. I was privileged to be able to call him uncle. I will truly miss him. File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/mi/huron/obits/g/glazasr10529nob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.net/mifiles/ File size: 4.6 Kb
