Dr. Arthur Saul Grossman

Our thoughts and prayers with your family. Peace be with you.

Gone but definitely not forgotten. I sure miss his smiling face at our North County meetings. I'm sure he's riding in many marathons up in heaven with a big smile on his face.

Hard to believe that Arthur has been gone for four years! Seeing him biking all over Whidbey Island was always an inspiration. And the Whidbey Half Marathon we completed still is very memorable.
Hope his wonderful family members are all doing well!!

I am beyond emotional just learning about Dr. Grossman's passing. I met him when I was 25 years old and was pregnant with my first baby. He was kind and calming and so good to me and both of my children all the way until they both turned 18 and headed off to college and to start families of their own in different parts of the state. My daughter played soccer when she was in HS and we would bump into him several times over the years on the fields. Dr. Grossman was such a wonderful doctor and man. He took care of all of us in a way that is completely lost now. I will never forget him and I pray his suffering was short and that he is doing all the things he loves in heaven. My heart is broken to know he is gone. Until we meet again........God speed!

I have known Art since junior high school. He was an amazing, talented man, with so many interests and accomplishments. His death is a loss for so many.

Glad I got to meet Art though his spin class at the Everett YMCA and youth soccer. It was amazing the energy he always had!

Dr Grossman became my physician when I became pregnant with my son over 34 yrs ago until his retirement.
It saddens me that his retirement and precious time with his family was cut short.
Thoughts and Prayers to the Grossman family!
R.I.P Dr Grossman

Dr Grossman was a special doctor, he was kind and gentle, he delivered my three sons and was my husband and my doctor for years until we moved north, I will never forget him.

I first met Dr Grossman as a student nurse in 1979. He later delivered my 4 children. He was an amazing Dr and did so much for so many! My sympathies to Virginia and family.

Art was an amazing man. He has been a wonderful role model and leader for our boys in soccer. We will miss him.

Heartbroken to hear the sad news of Art's passing. Words cannot express or do him justice because he was an extraordinary doctor, friend and human being! My family and I were blessed to know him 40 years. He blessed me, my babies and my parents with his loving care. His life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Virginia and your beautiful family whom he loved and cherished immensely.

We are greatly saddened of Art's passing he was a kind gentle man and he did so much for the community our thoughts and prayers go out to the family he will be greatly missed

I'm so sorry to hear of Arts' passing. He was a very kind and dear person to all of us at LA Fitness in Lynnwood. I looked forward to his class every week. He made the class so much fun with his sense of humor and unique style of teaching. He will be dearly missed by all of us.

Art coached my son on Cascade Avalanche Soccer Team for two years from 2001 to 2003. His example as a coach has had a lifetime impact on my son. Taylor, my son, said the other evening that Art was strict but fair. His commitment to the team and the game never wavered. Our family is better off by knowing him. I agree with the description of him in The Herald article, he had no ego. He never took credit for all of his accomplishments, he just quietly enjoyed the success of his efforts.

I was saddened to hear of Dr. Grossman's passing. He became my doctor when I was 17 years old. He was my kids' doctor and a couple of my grandchildren's doctor. I always felt that he was taking time when I came in. He had a mild manner and I appreciated that he lived the life he asked others to live.

I was sad to read of Art's passing. He was a great man. He coached my daughter in soccer for a few years and had actually delivered some of those girls on the team. The girls loved him and he rarely showed up to a game or practice in a car always on his bike. My condolences to his family!

My condolences to Virginia and family.
I am greatly saddened by Art's passing. I served as a referee with him and he knew the rule book inside and out.
A fine gentleman, someone who gave a lot back to his community and a huge asset to Everett.
We are lucky to have has such a shining example in our community.
Best regards to his family from mine.

Colleen, delivered by Arthur, called to tearfully tell me the news of Arthur's passing. He was a wonderful doctor and a truly nice man. Arthur will be missed. We met in 1978 and he was our doctor until he retired. Our families became friends and exchanged baby sitting, shopped Legos together, went to the opera, played dominos, and shared meals. I never knew when he'd stop by on his bicycle and would often find him in the yard enjoying whatever berry was in season. Memories put a smile on my face while tears brim. Virginia, Emily, Gretchen, Andrew and families - we are so sorry for your loss.

We were blessed to have Dr. Grossman as our son's pediatrician. I was a new Mom and not sure how things worked. In to my hospital room walked this gentle man and I hadn't actually met him yet. He said, they called and told me I have a new baby. He was the best. Our sincerest condolences to the Grossman Family.

My husband and I were blessed to have had Dr. Grossman deliver three of our children. He was a kind, compassionate and cheerful person who always had such a positive outlook on life. May his family be comforted knowing that he touched so many lives for good.

We were so sorry to hear of the passing of Art. We have such good memories of the time when he coached our daughter Nicole on the shooting stars soccer team. He was dedicated to providing our girls with the best possible experience. The girls dearly loved him and it was so evident that Art genuinely loved them. No matter how hard he tried to be tough on the girls underneath he was a teddy bear. We appreciated his integrity, high standards he set for the girls and what a great role model he was. Thanks Art!!! He will be greatly missed!

I met Dr. Grossman when I needed another GP after Dr. Ebert retired. Our doctor/patient relationship began. It went well for a couple of years but he continually increased the "you need to lose weight" pressure on me. Of course he was correct! I finally received "the lecture". Instructive but firm. After coaching on a couple of specific techniques and my best execution of his recommendations, I was able to drop about 45 pounds. I believe this will be a life changer for me! Thanks Doc!! I also enjoyed running into him at the Y on numerous occasions as well as discussing the ins and outs of park board membership of which we both experienced at different times. We had other doctor /patient discussions between us that are hilarious - that I would be glad to share in person.

I'll miss ya Doc!!

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of a really wonderful man. Lessons learn from Dr. Grossman, as a new nurse, served me throughout my career . Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time of loss.

Dr. Grossman was an amazing Dr. He took time with me as a patient, never felt rushed. He got me thru some pretty intense health issues and delivered my daughter! The picture I have of him holding my new born baby daughter will always be cherished! Deepest condolences to his family and the whole community that knew him.

I was very saddened by Arthur's death. He was such an inspiration to so many people, especially these past few months. The local bicycle trails and the Everett YMCA just won't be the same without him. He brought so much joy to others with his upbeat attitude and smiling face.

I worked with Dr Grossman at WWMG, We all loved to hear about his cycling trips, amazed by how far he traveled. He would talk of his family, especially loved the stories about the grandchildren. We could tell how proud he was of all of you. We wish you all peace in this sad time.

Our family was one of the many families who were blessed by the compassionate care of Dr. Grossman. He was a great example of what a family doctor should look like.

The world lost a rare and truly amazing man. We were on the receiving end of his compassion both personally and professionally and better for knowing him. Only smooth rides from here doc. Ken & Darlene Salo

You have my condolences, " While words fail to capture the pain of losing a loved one, we look forward to the time when words will fail to capture the joy of having our Heavenly Father return your dear one to you." John 6:40

Grossman Family, my thought and prayers are with you all. I worked with Dr. Grossman at Everett Family and then again at Pmg Claremont Art's love for biking was always an inspiration.

Art lived life to its fullest! He was a great role model to many as he coached soccer, kept fit, and loved his family! He will be missed.
-Jim,Peggy, Anna and Jeffrey Jensen

Art is loved by so many people. He was our fitness instructor at LA Fitness every Thursday. He worked hard in his classes. He always had something funny to tell us. He would often talk about his granddaughter with a huge smile on his face. My prayers are with the family. So sorry for your loss. Art has touched a lot of hearts.

A kinder, more gentle, humble and funny instructor we've not had -ever - at the La Fit Silver Sneakers Thursday class! We were all so blessed that Art crossed our paths and he will live in our memories and hearts forever...

Art was an amazing guy. I played soccer with him for many years, and know he coached many youth teams for even longer. One of those larger than life personalities who touched so many lives. We'll miss you, my friend.

Our Everett Family YMCA lost a true friend and wonderful individual in Art Grossman. For many of us, Art was the YMCA. His inspiration is sadly lost but not forgotten. Our collective hearts ache for his family but we know he's in a better place. Thank you Grossman Family for sharing this wonderful man with our YMCA. Fondly, Ted Wenta

Coach Art is how we will remember him, he did so much for so many, we all were truly blessed to have been able to learn from such a great roll model. He was someone we always looked up to and admired.
We will miss you Coach,
The Bradys

Art art was such a patient instructor with our senior YMCA swim class. He was the reason why most of us made the effort to get to our swim .class. Thanks, Art. Praying for his family and friends.

Dr Grossman delivered my sister and i, as well as remained our Dr until the day he retired. I had a very hard time with his retirement. I didnt want to find a new dr. I had a perfectly good one! I hope we are all informed on a ceremony for him. I know my family would love to attend.

the YMCA won't be the same, without Art's smile and constant encouragement! such an inspirational man...my condolences to his family, and everyone who's life he touched.

Dear Virginia, Gretchen, and Family: I am deeply sorry for your most significant personal loss. I remember Art so very well from his dedication to his family, community, and youth through my connection to your family through youth soccer. I always admired him, his personality, and his amazing character. I hope you are all staying strong together and healthy during this time of such a huge loss within your family.

To the family of Coach Art, we, too, are heartbroken, and deeply sorry for your loss. His passion and commitment for coaching our Irish soccer team in the past 4 years is one of his greatest legacy. We will be forever grateful. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.

I'm really sorry to hear of Dr. Grossman's passing. I called on Dr. Grossman as a medical rep for about a decade. He was a very special doc who cared deeply about his patients and treated everyone around him with a great deal of respect.

He and I shared a passion for cycling. I'll never forget seeing him on the last RAMROD I rode several years ago. He had a ridiculously low bib number (like 15), which is indicative of being one of the oldest riders to gut out 150 miles and 10,000 feet of climbing. He was special; both tough and relentless and a real gentleman.

My sincerest condolences to his family and close friends.

Virginia, what a shock I really thought Arthur would live forever. I am so sorry for your loss and all or our loss. Virginia I think of you often when we had the play group for the kids and how I envied you for having such smart kids...oh gee ...please accept my deepest sympathies as I never expected Arthur to ever go away. He was a great guy and Medical Doctor...Carl and I have retired and are living in La Paz, BCS....Please stay in touch...I know this is a hard time for all of you and we send our deepest sympathies...Carl and Kathy Pearson....

So sad to hear about the passing of Dr. Grossman. We admired him so much as a physician and athlete. Tried to do his cycling class...very challenging. He always had a beautiful energy. ALS sucks. We will keep up the fight in his honour.

Dr. "Art" Grossman. What a great man. Many in our Community will feel his loss. We will also feel comfort with who he was and what he did for our Community. Snohomish County Soccer Icon. YMCA Fixture. Cyclist, and Doctor for many. He was Dr. Grossman when we visited his Dr. Office. He was Art on the Soccer Pitch. He was funny and stern. Whenever driving and I'm sharing the road with Cyclist, I always say out loud "don't do it Art". I say this to assure myself Cyclist will hold their line as I am approaching. I will continue to do this and have a feel good moment thinking of Art ~ Dr. Grossman.

Such a shock to learn of Dr. Grossman's passing. He was our family physician from 1978 until his retirement. Will always be grateful for the care and compassion he provided. Not to mention his sense of humor. Will miss seeing him riding his bike, at the soccer field and running into him at the library. He is a hero to so many. Condolences from my family to his. He loved to talk about his children when I would inquire. He was so proud.

Sharon Johnson prayers for you during this your time of loss

So sorry for your loss. Dr Groaaman was a great dr. I was very sad when I head to seek other care as he was so knowledgeable.

Dr Grossman delivered my two babies.

I am also sorry to hear of the loss of this great man and excellent physician, A true community doctor.
I wish his family peace and rest at this difficult time.
James Tierney

I was so sad to hear the news about Art today. He was my early morning cycling instructor for many years... He was an inspiration for all of us, especially this past year.
My sincere condolences to the Grossman family.

I am so sorry for this loss. Arthur was such a great physician and a great man. He was my doctor from my teen years up until he retired, saw me through the births of three daughters, all of their childhood illnesses and even was a volunteer at their grade school. He was always such a kind, generous person. He will be missed by so many.

Many prayers for Art's family. He was a doctor for my Grandsons, coworker, and friend. An extraordinary human being who always went to extra lengths to help out. My heart aches when I think of the YMCA without his presence. Rest in peace Art, you've certainly earned it!

I am deeply saddened by the loss of this wonderful man. I only knew him through his volunteering with the soccer community. He gave so much to his community. He will be deeply missed. RIP Art. May the Lord bless you and your family during this time of sorrow.

So sad to hear this news! I worked along side him at the Healthcare Clinic as his Social Worker and admired him greatly. He was such an amazing role model to everyone he met. I loved seeing him walking down the hall with his cycling clothes and knowing that he had rode his bike to the clinic to volunteer! He was always kind and had an excellent sense of humor. I will miss him greatly!

Dearest Grossman family. I am so sorry for your loss. Art coached both my daughter, Ritz and my son Q in soccer. I also interacted with him many times within the medical community. Such a health conscious inspiration. There are many who will miss him. We will keep your family in our thoughts. Pam, Darryl, Marissa & Quinten Baldwin

Art was a good friend and my doctor for 17 years; I will miss him and his wonderful, dry sense of humor. He was a blessing to all who knew him.

Dr Grossman was my doctor for over 20 years.I have nothing but good thoughts about him.

I meet Art when I started going to the YMCA arthritic exercise class. He was a very caring man and will be missed. He was a great inspiration to all of us in the class. May you Rest In Peace.

Oh my heart is broken to see my favorite doctor has passed. He always took the time to stop and chat, at the office, out for a run, biking, or at the soccer fields. He was truly a very special man. He delivered my son many years ago...and my grandson was one of his last to be delivered. He was such a sweet guy...he will always be remembered, he has touched a lot of lives. I'm sure there will be no resting in peace, he will be cycling, and running in heaven. Gold bless you Dr. Grossman for all you did for everyone.

Sending prayers, and strength to the family.

Art was a great guy, he was one of doctors in our family for many years. I will miss him at the Everett YMCA, he always said hi to me and everyone there.

Arthur and I joined Everett Family Practice Center in 1977. I have never known another physician with more compassion and more talent. It was an honor to work side by side with him for 20 years. He was also a terrific husband, father, teacher, and coach, as well as an incredible inspiration in terms of physical fitness. Also nearly impossible to beat him in bridge. He will be greatly missed by so many people he helped during his life! Randy Gould

I'll always remember Art as a source of inspiration and strength. On those mornings I thought I just couldn't get up and go to the YMCA, I told myself if Art can do it, I can too. We enjoyed joking with each other and I honestly respected him and his sense of humor.
We'll all miss him and our class just will not be the same.
Painless cycling forever!

Dr. Grossman was my moms OB and my general doctor for most of my childhood. Went to school with his daughter Gretchen. Will miss him. I think of him as I pass the office on Colby when I visit home.

Art was one the kindest, most generous and bravest people I have ever known. He gave 100% to his patients and to the community. He taught classes at the Y right up until the end. I will miss seeing him there. Chad and I were blessed by his friendship. He has left a giant void in my heart.
