Arthur L. Faulkner

Arthur Faulkner, Sr. Passed away on November 10, 2018 after a brave battle with cancer. He was born on September 16, 1943 to Donna O. and Charles T. Faulkner. He is survived by the girl of his dreams and wife of fifty-six years, Paula "Candy" Faulkner. The funny valentines were wed on February 14, 1962 and were a shining example of true love to their children: Arthur, Jr., who was waiting for him on the other side, Nannette (Jeff) Kinney, and Bridgette Greene. Also surviving are his cherished grandchildren, Nathan (Nicole) Kinney, Katrina Faulkner, and Amelia Greene. Through his life, Art was been so many things: husband, father, friend, grandfather.

At 18, he graduated from Arsenal Technical High School with honors, receiving the Ralph Yenne award for being one of the top two technical students. Without a college education, he became a structural steel engineer through apprenticeship and his own intelligence. He was Vice President of Ferguson Steel Co. before operating Arthur L.

passing was quick and jarring for the ones left behind, but in truth, it was a blessing. He did not suffer long, and he has been surrounded by those he loves most. He died the same man he had been for so long: loving, gentle, soft-spoken. Unlike so many, he died holding his memories of family and friends close to his heart, cancer having spared him from Parkinson's Disease. Art was a good man. A good man. A good friend, a good husband, a good father, a good grandfather. Although he died, the most special parts of him live on in everyone he touched. He is dead, but he is not gone. Visitation will be held at Crown Hill Funeral Home and Cemetery on Wednesday, November 14, 2018 from 4:00 to 8:00pm and on Thursday, November 15, 2018 from 10:00 to 11:00am. Service will follow immediately.
