Arthur married Rosemary Lauth in November of 1963 in St. Louis. They were married for 43 years before her passing on September 3, 2007. Arthur worked for over 30 years at the General Motors Assembly Plant in Wentzville. He liked being outside, riding around the property on his Gator or throwing a line in a lake to catch whatever was biting. He also enjoyed hiking on the many different trails along the Meramec River. When he was younger, he took his boat to George Winter Lake, Mark Twain Lake and down to Kentucky Lake. His inside hobby was his HO scale train set. He built all of the mountain scenery and everything that went along with it. What he loved more than anything was spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was a loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and friend to all that knew him.
