Arthur Ravenel Jr.

We are sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Ravenel. He was our dad's first employer and professional mentor. Dad enjoyed swapping stories with him, as well as learning from him. One of our fondest childhood memories was our trip to D.C. when he was serving in Congress, riding on the private elevator and eating lunch with him. How nice of him to allow us such a special memory. They may be entertaining each other in Heaven with their stories! Sending our sympathy and love during this...

My parents met Authur in 1959 when I was in 3rd grade. My sister and one of Arthur's sons is mentally handicapped and they all worked together on behalf of that cause. He was also responsible for getting the family involved in politics. My father even shared a birthday with Arthur. I will mourn him in their honor because they both passed away about 10 years ago. I was glad to see that Arthur had such a long and productive life.

Susie and I would like to extend our condolences to the family. Arthur was always very nice to us and he will be missed. Carroll and Susie Heyward

It seems that everyone in the Lowcountry was positively impacted by Arthur. We saw him annually at family reunions and I was able to visit him when he served in Washington and in Columbia. He was more-than-helpful for so many noble causes. When he got behind something, there was an excellent chance of its success. His grasp of history was unparalleled. We all lost a dear friend.

Upon returning to Charleston in the late 1980s, Linda and I had the pleasure of meeting Arthur on numerous occasions at speaking engagements, realestate activities and social functions. Never in my life have I met a person who could match Arthur's charisma and wit. He was so enthusiastic and joyful to be around. Never a sad moment in my memories of Arthur until I heard of his passing. Cousin Arthur always had so many great quotes, but one in particular comes to my mind. "Cuz, if you be for...

Eva and young Eva, my deepest sympathies and condolences at this sad te in your family. May you cherish the memories of your father and grandfather always.

We met Mr Ravenel several years ago while attending church during our annual Charleston vacation. We always attend services here at one of the many historic churches. He came over to greet us and talked up a storm about the history of the church, especially the organ. What a charming man. We are here yet again vacationing this week and very sorry to hear of his passing.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and all of his many friends.
