Celebrating the life of
Arthur "Art" Wilcox, Jr.
Passed away on May 31, 2019
Arthur William Wilcox, Jr., passed away on May 31, 2019 after a long illness. He was the son of Arthur William Wilcox, Sr. and Ernestine Hyers Wilcox, now deceased. He was 65 years old and was born in Savannah on June 26, 1953. Art attended public schools in Chatham County and graduated from Jenkins High School in 1971. He worked at International Paper until retirement. Art had a great love of the outdoors.

So sorry to hear about Art passing. He and I spent many a day in the woods and on the water as well as attending Myers, Jenkins, and Andrew Junior College together. Art was a unique individual and fun guy to he around. I lost contact with him until a couple of months ago when Allen Bradham gave me his telephone number. He and I spoke on the phone for a while remembering old times. I have many a fond memory of the days we spent deer and Turkey hunting and pike fishing at Slater hunting club. I know he will be missed.
