Mr Art


August 9, 2009

Arthur Mojetski  passed away on Thursday, October 22, 2009 (leukemia complications).  He was a Godly man, never boastful; and strong and quiet in his ways.  He had a beautiful baritone voice, and was a talented artist (just as his name indicates).  He leaves behind his wife Patricia; and his grown children Steve, Kris, Cindy, and Stu. His beautiful grandchildren: Katie, Sam, Nate, Noah, and Annie, will miss him terribly. 
He made an impression on Romy, years ago when we first began attending our church, by telling him that we were an answer to his prayer for younger couples with children to attend PMBC. Every Sunday, for the past few years, he has almost always greeted at least one of our children.  Camille, away in college,  publicly burst into tears after learning of his sudden death.  Jared referred to him as one of his best friends. He and Pat were my role models.  Whenever I'd see them holding hands (which was often), I wanted what they had: a strong, affectionate, long-term marriage; and,the benefits that came with it -- children who loved the Lord, and the respect of one and all.
What a loss.  We are still in shock.  Our family will surely miss Mr Art.

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom
