Arthur B. Termott, age 97 of Wayne, died on Tuesday, April 24, 2012.
Arthur was born Biagio Arturo Termotto in Manhattan’s Lower East Side and spent most of his childhood in Brooklyn, graduating from New Utrecht High School in 1933.
Arthur began working for Ford Motor Company in Edgewater, New Jersey and was eventually transferred to their new plant in Teterboro, where he worked his way up to head of security and served as deputy fire chief.
After 41 years with Ford, he retired in 1977.
Art met his wife Catherine (nee Moore) while working at Ford, when Catherine’s brother--and one of Art’s co-workers--set them up. They were married in New York City in 1940 and enjoyed 50 years of marriage before her passing in 1990.
Arthur moved with his wife, Catherine, and daughter, Catherine Ann, to Wayne in 1958, where he lived next-door to his in-laws, Bob and Marie Whalen and their five children. Nothing pleased Arthur more than spending time with his family; he was especially proud and loving of his grandchildren and did everything he could with them, attending every sporting event and sharing every milestone. Nicknamed “Red” for his distinctive hair color, Arthur will be remembered as a humble and kind man who appreciated life’s simple pleasures, from the southern Italian food of his heritage to rooting for the New York Yankees to mixing a legendary whiskey sour.
Art is survived by his daughter Catherine A. Squires and her husband, John, of Wayne; three grandchildren: John Arthur Squires and his wife, Mary Lou, of Franklin Lakes; Kathleen Squires and her husband, Hernan Rodriguez, of Manhattan; and Christine Squires and her husband, Steven Pashkoff, of Brooklyn. He is also survived by his three
great-grandchildren: William Arthur, Elizabeth Marie, and Emma Felicia; and his many beloved nieces and nephews. Art is the last of his family generation and was recently predeceased by his sister, Jean Benanti, of Staten Island, and previously, four brothers: Tony, Joe, Angelo, and John.
