He met Sherla Gable while working at the Fred Dubuque farm. Art and Sherla were married on November 14, 1952 at the Rolette Assembly of God Church. Born to this union was Jefferie in 1954 and Roger in 1957.

After working for Fred Dubuque, Art began working on the Bill Johnson farm and also for Rolette County in the winter driving the snow plow.

He and his brothers remodeled his home in Rolette, his brother Bill's home in Cando and a lake home of his sister Hazel at Lake Upsilon. He helped many friends in Rolette and the surrounding area with various building projects. Art maintained a love of farming through his life helping his brother Lawrence and others in their farming endeavors. He was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone who needed it. He was well known for his teasing and practical jokes. He enjoyed hunting with his brother Lawrence, brother-in-law Joe Klein and his two sons. He enjoyed wood working; making toys, picture frames, clocks and other items for family and friends. Art loved a good game of pinochle. He enjoyed attending air shows and hot air balloon events.
