Arthur Mendelsohn

October 25, 1926 - October 27, 2018

Arthur Mendelsohn passed away peacefully two days following his 92nd birthday. He was preceded in death by Josephine, his best friend and love of his life for 67 years. A native of Seattle born to Annie and Jacob Mendelsohn, Art served in the Merchant Marines in World War II. A self-made man of generous heart and deed, Art devoted his full energies to his cherished family and successful surplus machinery and marine equipment business, attracting customers world-wide. He had many interests including his recently published book of poetry, the sciences, environment, social justice, and most of all singing to his great grandchildren. Art and Josephine had four children, Karen Warner, Mike Mendelsohn, Linda Overa (of blessed memory) and Margie Kraft, eight grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren. Art's siblings: Leonard Mendelsohn (of blessed memory), Sam Mendelsohn (of blessed memory), Gertrude Lillith (of blessed memory), and Sophie Levin. We will all miss him dearly. Special thanks to Rabbi James Mirel, family, friends and caregivers. Remembrances to , and City of Hope.
