Arthur David Rose, 87, went to be with the Lord on March 22, 2018 in Goodyear, Arizona. He was born August 27, 1930 in Englewood, New Jersey to Arthur J. and Loretta (Breen) Rose. Art spent most of his life in Bergen County, NJ.

He served in the US Naval Reserve from 1955 to 1958, and was employed for many years by Ufheil Construction (New Milford, NJ). He later became co-owner of Elsa Construction, and was a member of the International Union of Operating Engineers for 70 years.

Art and his wife Joan (nee Ruppert) married in 1962 and lived in Oradell, NJ, where they were members of the St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church community. Art loved the sun, outdoors, and the beach. He and Joan eventually retired to Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. They also had a home in Arizona. Art and Joan permanently moved to Goodyear, Arizona in 2015 to be closer to their children and grandchildren.

In addition to Joan, his loving wife of 55 years, Art leaves behind a son, Arthur David Rose, Jr. of Goodyear and four daughters, Deborah Rose (Rock City Falls, NY), Kathleen Bump (West Yarmouth, MA), Alison Wood (John), and Andrea Christensen (James) of Goodyear, AZ. He was also blessed with six beautiful grandchildren, Melissa Bump, Kristen Hankinson, Lindsey Hankinson, Christopher Wood, Carolyn Wood, and James Christensen, as well as his first great-grandchild, Eden Rose. Art cherished his loving friendship with sister-in-law, Donna Carbone and her husband, Dr. Michael K. Carbone and their children, Jessica Carbone McKinney and Michael Carbone.

He was our husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother-in-law, and uncle. His absence makes our hearts ache, yet we know he is at peace in the welcoming arms of our Lord.

A viewing will be held at Thompson Funeral Chapel, 926 S Litchfield Road, Goodyear, AZ 85338 from 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm on Tuesday, March 27, 2018. A Mass of Resurrection will be celebrated at St. John Vianney Roman Catholic Church, 539 E La Pasada Blvd, Goodyear, AZ 85338 on Wednesday, March 28, 2018 at 10:00 am.

The Rose family would like to extend our gratitude to all the staff at Pathways Assisted living and Memory Care in Goodyear, and Sage Hospice for their attentiveness and loving care. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer’s Association in memory of Arthur D. Rose.
