Arthur H. Stock

A Legend in our industry! Often think of Art Stock

Wow playpen south was so amazing started going there in 1973 bless you Art for your ability to create these amazing clubs.

Love your Eulogy Tara - it was perfect. Can't believe it's almost 10 years since he's been gone. So many names I recognize have paid their respects here and it brings back great memories.

Condolences to the entire family.

Dear Tara, Kelly Ann and Sean,
It has been 4 years since your Dad passed, and you may not even see this message, but Mr. Stock was very important to my family and I felt I must pay tribute to his memory.
Art met my Dad back in the 40's when Art was a little kid watching my Dad play baseball in Sea Girt. Then much later my Dad worked for Art at the Royal Manor and the Sea Girt Inn. This part-time job really helped us get through some hard times in the late 60's and early 70's. The I...
