Arthur Fratantuono Obituary

Arthur R. Fratantuono, most widely known by all as "Otts" Fratt, 83, longtime resident of Northern Anne Arundel County and dedicated owner of Sunset Restaurant, passed away on January 8, 2020. Otts was born in Baltimore to the late Joseph and Lucille Fratantuono. He attended Southern High School, and then Glen Burnie High School, where he graduated in 1956. Otts was the proud owner and operator of the well-known Sunset Restaurant in Glen Burnie since 1960. He served in the US Marine Corps and later in the Reserves and was very proud of his service. Otts was a member of the Anne Arundel County Beverage Association and Restaurant Association, and was also a past member of the Glen Burnie Elks.

Most of all, Otts enjoyed being social and talking with his customers at the restaurant. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, Joseph and Dennis "Bud" Fratantuono.

I worked for Otts back in 1989, (summer job/home from college). He was a GRT mentor/boss/human-being. Taught me a lot about the restaurant business and more importantly how to make the BEST Cream of Crab soup!
Will be sorely missed, but his memory will live on in the Sunset
