It is with a heavy heart that I have to pass on the news that Art Rose passed away on Wednesday, and was laid to rest Thursday with many friends and family attending.
Art was a former Gold Medalist in international competition, a multiple time NAR Champion, and designer of the famous Rose-A-Roc helicopter duration model and the Rose fin jig.
Art had been in declining health, but was still alert and engaged when I last saw him on Wednesday of last week. He was in good sprits and ready to continue work in his shop.
Condolences go out to his wife Janet, son Harry, daughter Oliva, and all of his family and friends across the world.
If you know of others that knew him, please pass on this sad news. We all will miss him.
