Henry Arthur "Art" McCabe

Henry McCabe Obituary

Henry Arthur "Art" McCabe died December 15, at age 72. A native of Brooklyn, he was Chief Lifeguard at Coney Island while attending St. John's University. After graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics he served in the Army at Fort Huachuca. Art returned to Arizona in 1961 to continue a 30-year career as a Software Development Manager in the Computer Department of General Electric/ Honeywell/Bull. In the late 1970's he transferred to the company's headquarters in Minneapolis where he also taught at the University of Minnesota and the University of St. Thomas. In addition to mentoring, Art enjoyed following politics and sports, especially baseball, and perusing the New York Times trying to complete the crossword puzzle faster than his wife. Art is survived by his wife Mary Williamson McCabe who was also in Software Development at GE/HIS/Bull. His surviving children are Patrick, Anne Nepsky (Craig), Kevin (Penny), Cathleen Keeney (Joseph) and John (Charlotte). He was preceded in death by his son Michael. His pride and joy were his grandchildren: Nathan and Patrick Nepsky; Kenny, Sarah, Eleanor and Charlotte McCabe; Miles, Anne and Clare Keeney. Services will be held Monday, December 22, at 10AM at Christ Church of the Ascension, 4015 E. Lincoln Drive in Paradise Valley. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that gifts be made in his name to the Christ Church Memorial Fund or to the American Heart Association.

In 1973, Art hired me to come to Phoenix and work on the WWMCCS project. For me and my family, it was a wonderful opportunity, and I cherish the memory of the man who changed my life 45 years ago. I am currently recounting the people in my family's lives (in a Web site I'm building), and writing about Art's impact brought me to the Legacy.com site for this tribute message...late as it is. God speed, Art!

Love to you Mary. I recall working to get Art involved in the academic teaching game. I'm sure I learned more from him than he ever did from me.

To my dear friend Mary and your family,



When I think of Art, I immediately hear his laughter and that followed by yours. Do you really think he thought we loved malls and shopping as much as I/we claimed!?! My Mom and I raise a margarita toast to such a wonderful man, husband and father. Those of us who have known Art and had him in our lives, have been truly blessed.



Love and prayers to you and your family,



Viki and Peggy Grosshans

Art was a friend and mentor throughout my career. His fundamental decency and honesty made a lasting impression on me and I'm sure on everyone with whom he worked. I know his family will carry this spirit on, but Art will be missed.

We retain fond memories of a kind and generous man and it is regretable that we knew him for such a short time. Our sincere sympathy and thoughts are with Mary and the family.

Art: Raconteur-mentor-teacher-friend. The end of every life leaves a void somewhere in the universe, and for us we are the "somewhere in the universe"; we shall miss the sporadic NY Times articles and the wry comments about ASU.



Mary: Know that all of your friends grieve and share your pain. God bless you.

You were the "first one to hold me". I love you, Dad.

Peace,
