My grandpa Jugg. Stevie

The world has truly lost a HERO, Art's smile in front of that powerful mindset - he taught everyone with his wisdom, kindness, generosity and the most loving and proudest man I have ever met! One of my most recent fondest memories is Art telling us about wearing his WWII cap and having lunch bought for him at Gray Brother's cafeteria. He looked like a five year old boy telling us some stranger bought lunch for him again. Art was religious and patriotic, he loved GOD, the USA, Family and life. It is a blessing to be able to call myself his daughter-in-law, to know him, to love him and to be loved by him. I will miss that wonderful smile and clever sense of humor. Art will never be forgotten, we all live in a better world because of his goodness and he will live forever in my heart! Until we met again on the other side... GOD Bless and keep you Art!

Art had a smile for everyone. He had a wonderful sense of humor. He was always so very kind to me. His love of family was admirable, especially his love for his beautiful wife. I was blessed to know him.

Sorry for your loss! I didn't realize Art grew up in Haughville and went to Tech. He may have known some of my aunts and/or uncles as my moms family lived in that area, went to Tech, and some would have been close to his age. You are in my thoughts.
