Read More	Arthur “Art” Getting, age 85, died on Tuesday, September 8, 2015 at Sanford USD Medical Center in Sioux Falls surrounded by family. Arthur Lloyd Getting was born January 6, 1930 to Fred and Anna (Dykhouse) on the family farm near Little Rock, IA, the fourth of five children. After enduring the Great Depression, his family moved to Sioux Falls where his father, helped build military housing for WWII military buildup at Joe Foss Field. Art attended Washington High School and joined the Army at age eighteen serving at Fort Lewis near Tacoma, Washington. He then transferred to the Air Force near the start of the Korean War, and completed his service at Ellsworth AFB in Rapid City, SD. This was followed by near thirty years of reserve military service in the South Dakota Air National Guard in Sioux Falls. He retired with full military honors. A wood craftsman by trade, Art was a tool belt wearing, hammer carrying, pencil-behind-the-ear guy. Art began his home building career with a local builder and proposed marriage to Carol Van de Stroet by asking her to pick out paint colors for the new home he had built. They wed May 11, 1956, and together they painted and decorated five new homes in the life of a builder. A few years after marrying, he and two friends, Ray and Norm, struck out on their own, swapping time and talent as each built new custom homes, remodeled kitchens, and built garages. He was a ground to roof contractor…digging footings, pouring concrete walls, framing, and roofing, but his favorite part was the finish work of custom cabinets and trim. This is where his craftsmanship would shine. Over the years he also built the first Taco Bell in Sioux Falls on 41st street, put up hog confinements, did barn conversions and many remodels and builds for family. He was known to say, “We can fix that,” and did just that. Not only did Art build buildings, he built a family with Carol. Together they raised three children: James, Charlotte, and Patty. He led by example in the way that he served his church by using his gift of wood craftsmanship, his community with his involvement with Boy Scouts of America, and his family through the passing down of his love for fixing and creating. As a family they also enjoyed camping and getting together with extended family. Art was preceded in death by his wife, Carol, in 1985. He then married Jennie (VenVelzen) Strand on July 21, 1989. This marriage led to five more “additions” to the Getting family: Paul, Jean, Joni, Joyce, and Jayne. Art “retired” from fulltime construction work in the mid-90s, but he never stopped fixing and creating and working with wood. He loved helping his family with projects, both small and large. He took great pleasure in sharing his talents through gifts of rocking horses, shelves, frames, cabinets, and the list goes on. Grateful for having shared his life are his wife, Jennie Getting of Sioux Falls, SD; three children: James (Julie) Getting of Shalimar, FL, Charlotte (Curtis) Skarphol of Fargo, ND, and Patricia (Kenneth) Hayes of Marshalltown, IA; five step-children: Paul (Sherry) Bott of Trenton, CA, Jeanine (John) Slieter of Lincoln, NE, Joni (Steven) Hill of Hot Springs, SD, Joyce (Mark) Iseminger of Farmington, MN, and Jayne (Scott) Knochenmus of Sioux Falls, SD; eight grandchildren: Ashley, Brenton, and Lynsey Getting, Jacob, Samuel, and Anna Skarphol, Cornelia, and Nathanael Hayes; eleven step-grandchildren: June, and Sydney Bott, Tracy (Travis) Kerner, Lucas (Sara Roether) Slieter, Jeanne (Ryan) Bonham, Matthew Larson, Shay (Darrell) Strong, Caira Iseminger, Kaycee (Jason) Albertson, Jayme, and Kim Knochenmus; five great grandchildren: Hadley, Cason, Saylor, Jace, and Makenna; sister, Viola Slechta of Sioux Falls; and a host of other family and friends. Art is preceded in death by his parents: Fred and Anna Getting; first wife, Carol Getting; three siblings: Della Mae Kor, John Richard Getting, and Shirley Minshall; and two granddaughters: Kelsey Getting and Kaylee Knochenmus.
