Donations are neither expected nor necessary. However, for those who wish to honor Art in this way, contributions may be made to The Michael J. Fox Foundation (https://tribute.michaeljfox.org/tribute-page.php?id=3753&np=true) for research into Parkinson’s.
Born in Chicago, he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania at the young age of 20 before going on to earn his JD from the University of Chicago. He devoted most of his distinguished professional career to Argonne National Laboratory, where he served as General Counsel. In retirement, he volunteered for many years for the Legal Assistance Foundation of Metropolitan Chicago. Yet, beyond his considerable intellect and professional accomplishments, he will be remembered most for the extraordinary person he was: the kindest, wisest and most loving of men, with a brilliant sense of humor and a wonderful gift for bringing warmth and laughter to those around him. He was deeply loved and will be profoundly missed.
Funeral service Sunday, December 6, 10:00AM at Westlawn Cemetery Chapel, 7801 W Montrose Ave, Norridge. Interment to follow.
There will be one day Shiva and the address will be given out on December 6.
