So sorry for your loss, Eric!
I have so many wonderful memories of Art. One memory that meant so much is Art and my mother, Alice Walz driving the long distance to my son's graduation at Notre Dame and the following year driving to San Francisco to another son's graduation. He made sure not to miss their graduations, he was so proud. We were honored to have him there and were amazed how far he drove just to be there. Art will be truly missed for his kindness and being a wonderful person.
Rest in peace, Art.
God Bless

Isaac and I were engaged and pregnant with Brody at the time my Aunt Pat and family threw me a baby shower. All the women went to the shower while the men went to play golf and drink some beers. Papa came back to the shower, after having a few and pointed at my ring and said,” that right there makes me happy, then practically ate my nose. His way of giving one of those slimy Papa kisses right on my nose. He was always super proud of his family. Super proud of all the grandkids.
This man was the greatest PaPa a kid could ever have. I have way to many memories to list but I will share a few. Some of my earliest memories are going to his condo in Tulsa and swimming in the pool, I think there was enough chlorine in it that it could have turned grand lake clear. He would always tell the grand kids to keep our eyes closed when we went under but of course we never did. Our eyes would burn so bad for hours after the swim that we couldn't open them. He also had cable TV with that brown box and a cord that had to be at least 100' long haha. I remember he had video recorder too, we or at least I thought he was so rich to have one and cable TV. That video recorder had to weigh at least 30 pounds, he and MaGram would lug that thing to every school play, sit in the blistering sun all day for baseball games and spend their entire weekends in a stinky gym to video tape us in a wrestling tournament. The best was going to the lake though during the summer. We were lucky enough to have boat and holy cow did we spend some hours in it when we were little. We started out with a zippy board when we were little. Once we got a little older we learned how ski and I think there were days that we would be on the water all day only to come home and eat lunch and get back out on the water until dinner. I still have no idea how none of have skin cancer from all the sun. If we weren't on the boat we were most likely on the golf cart riding around with our BB guns looking for birds to shoot. I know it's bad but that's what we did. I don't think he really liked us shooting the birds but he never said anything. The 4th of July was always the best! I have no idea how much money he would spend on fire works but it was enough to keep 4 grand kids busy with black cats for days. Somehow Charlie would always burn himself with the punk at least half a dozen times and then at dark we would get the good stuff out it took hours to light it all. Later I remember learning how to drive a standard in his little ford ranger. On my senior prom he let take his Cadillac and I'm telling you I thought I was man driving that caddy! I loved to play golf with him and dad too, he would always want to show me off to all his buddies.
He was always so proud of me, I felt that from him whenever we were together. Of course I didn't know it at the time but he shaped so much of my life. I think the most important thing he taught me is FAMILY, you can always count on family! I think of my childhood often and he was always there.
It wont be easy to say good bye on Wednesday but I know that I'll have a tee time waiting when I see him again. You were and still are so loved PaPa.
Rest In Peace
Eric Pinsart
