ARTHUR LINSKEY Obituary
EDINBURG - Dr. Arthur Owen Linskey of Edinburg passed away in the early morning hours of November forth. He was surrounded by his family and people he loved and died in his home in Edinburg. Dr. Linskey was born in Connecticut and completed his University degree in psychology at the University of Notre Dame and the University of North Carolina. He had worked with the United Nations as a psychologist in Santiago, Chile in South America from 1961 till 1968, and then relocated to South Texas in 1972. He was a professor at Pan American University (later, University of Texas, Pan American) from 1972 till 2004 in the Department of Education. Additionally, he worked at Tropical Texas Mental Health Center in Edinburg until August of this year. On the day of his passing, he was to receive an award from the Texas Psychological Association for "Outstanding Contributions to Psychology." He was well loved and respected by his students, colleagues and those he knew. He always had a smile and a positive word for people he met, and until the day of his death he was trying to make people laugh and be happy. He was preceded in death by his first wife, Clarice Linskey in 1986, and is survived by his wife, Sara Linskey and his two sons and their wives, , John and Terry Linskeyg and Christopher and Brenda Linskey of Flagstaff, Arizona. He also has 5 grandchildren, Thomas, Noah, James, Sofia and Clarice Linskey, all of Flagstaff as well. We pray that his spirit finds peace and that he can continue to feel his connection to the universe.

My warmest prayers and condolences to the Linskey family. I was blessed to have met Dr. Linskey as an immediate supervisor at my first place of professional employment six years ago as well as a friend, and colleague. He was a great person who cared about those around him and very passionate to his profession as a Psychologist who was always dedicated to his work. I will always remember him with his kind simile and inspirational words to those around him. As a mentor, he inspired me to further my education as a doctorate student in Clinical Psychology. He will be missed by those who had the pleasure of meeting him. May God have him at rest and bless the whole family in this time of sorrow.

I was so blessed to have met Dr. Linskey, not only as a professor and supervisor,but as a friend. He was such a great man. He will be truly missed and thought of fondly. I had the privilege of enjoying the laughs with him, especially when he gave me his New York Accent. May God have him in his tender hands, where I know he is now resting. God Bless you Sarah and give you the comfort that is needed during this time of sorrow. Remember he was a wonderful man and he loved you dearly. May God bless all the Linskey family during this time and give them all comfort.
