Art taught Memoir Writing for several years as part of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. He wrote many magazine articles for professional magazines, accomplished an inventory of about 12,000 ancestors, and contributed to books and magazines for Al-Anon Family Groups. He wrote four books. The first one was published anonymously, Journey to Recovery, a Fifty-Year History of Al-Anon in Northern California. He wrote about his family in three volumes, My Family's History - Ancestors of Albert St. Pierre, a multigenerational discovery of his mother's ancestor; the ancestors of his father and his own memoir. The final two volumes have not been completed.

Art lived his life with purpose and as he stated in his Memoir he was going to do all he could for as long as he could. He continued to speak and attend Al-Anon meetings despite his battle with cancer and only retired from his treasury position just weeks before his death. He was still logging family birthdays for his genealogy inventory just several days before his passing, leaving behind a great deal of history for his loved ones and future genealogists. He was an avid card player enjoying 45's and cribbage with anyone who would join in. His cribbage board was always on the table ready for a game and he rarely missed a point. He was proud to pass on his grandparents and parents card playing traditions with his children, grandchildren and even beginning to teach a fourth generation. Art had a positive perspective on life, he pushed through obstacles and illnesses with little complaint. Those that had the pleasure of spending time with Art or hearing him as a speaker valued his wisdom. Education was a high priority to Art. He had an incredible thirst for knowledge and meeting new people which made him a very interesting man to know. Art surrendered peacefully surrounded by loved ones. He will be missed greatly by his family and comrades.
