They continued to run and maintain the program for 15 years and it continues to serve people today and has served over 53,000 lunches to date. Art would run every week for food which was donated by Foodlink and Wegmans. What was not received Art and Elsie would then go shopping to be purchase needed items.
Art enjoyed singing and sang in the church choir for many years. He had a great sense of humor and one line he would say often “he never had a middle name because his family was to poor”.
Art will be remembered by his loving and devoted wife of 54 years, Elsie (Flint) Deys; and children.
