after a year and a half battle with bile duct cancer  Born in Elizabeth, NJ he grew up in Linden and graduated from Linden High School in 1988. He went on to earn his diploma from DeVry Technical Institute. He began his career at Motorola Inc. and after exploring many opportunities through the years he ended his journey at his current position as Director of Sales Engineering at Utelogy Corp.

Art married his high school sweetheart Maryann in 1993 and moved to Cranford in 1997 where they raised their family on a street where neighbors became friends. Art loved to tool around in his garage while listening to Pink Floyd and was always there to help a friend with anything they may need. He was a jack of all trades, master of none, sometimescalled the Mayor of his street. His friendships ran deep. He was still close with all his high school friends and kept in touch with people he worked with years ago.

He loved spending time with his family whether it was going down to Jenkinson’s Arcade, flyingto Disney World, or finding a miniature golf course wherever they went. He loved cooking, gardening, and fishing the lakes of NJ with his buddy Chris.

He is survived by his wife Maryann, his daughter Jillian (Steele) and her husband Nicholas, his son Michael, his mother Richarda, his brother Mark and wife Barbara, as well as nieces and nephews, and his grandpup Zoro.
