He had a special love for animals, especially cows. Artenchis had a passion for music and his artistic ability gave him a beautiful talent for composing music. His precious daughter was the light of his life, who he adored and loved more than anything in the world. Art’s quick-whit, caring heart, and sweet spirit will be deeply missed.
