Art enjoyed sports, and was active throughout his entire life.  He did track and field in high school and played soccer in university.  He continued jogging into his later years.  In his final days, he would watch the Blue Jays from the comfort of his favourite armchair.

Art was an avid reader. He knew the classics and liked Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken".  But his true love was the Bible and he could recite countless bible passages by memory.
