Arthur West Obituary
A Florida native, Arthur was born on January 24, 1946, in Cocoa Beach, Florida. As a proud veteran of the United States Army, he served during the Vietnam War. After his military service, Arthur had a successful career at Pratt & Whitney, where he worked in the Space Propulsion Division, designing, manufacturing, and inspecting high-pressure turbopumps for the Space Shuttle Main Engines. He retired in 2011 after many years of dedicated service.
Arthur was preceded in death by his father, Thomas J. West; his mother, Louise West; and his sister, Pamela West.
He is survived by his loving daughter, Jaclyn West (Joseph Finnegan); his former spouse, Gloria West (Robert Dominguez); his long-time partner, Margarita; her extended family; and many other family members and friends.
A private burial took place at Riverside Memorial Park in Tequesta, FL, on February 3, 2025. A celebration of life will be held in the summer, with details to follow.
Arthur will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His memory will live on in the hearts of his loved ones.
