Another Brother Gone.

by Donna Fuller on 07/23/18

From Art Word:

More sad news, I received word from Art Masseys caregiver that
Art Massey, a long time member of our Association passed away on July 22nd. If you have any information about Art, please contact me as I am having a difficult time finding his Obituary. Our records show that he was living in Klamath Falls, Oregon. I need this information to provide flowers for our brothers funeral. 

May he forever Rest in Peace.
