Herbert "Art" Cain

Herbert "Art" Cain died peacefully in his Manchester home on Thursday Oct. 31, 2019.

He was born on Nov. 24, 1936 in Cobleskill, New York. Twenty-one years later he married his sweetheart, Madeline E. Ault, in May 1958, and lived together for their entire adult lives. Art settled his family in Manchester, Connecticut in 1964 and supported them as an accomplished machinist, employed for 40 years at Aerex Manufacturing.

Aside from his family, Art's passion was model airplanes. He meticulously built and enjoyed flying dozens of lightweight balsa wood airplanes, patiently fitting them with propellers, engines, multiple servos, complicated electronics, and numerous connecting rods. Art will always be remembered as a moral, quiet, optimistic, and personally responsible husband and father, who led by example and spoke more with actions than words. Simply said, Art was a good man.

Art is survived by his loving wife, Madeline. They were married for 61 years. He is also survived by his sister, Fran, his four proud children, Cynthia "CiCi," married to Steve Petri; Douglas; Jenine, married to Steve Wierzbicki; and Susan Thibodeau; his six grateful grandchildren, Jaron, Nicole, Kristyn, Kaitlin, Derek, and Kyle, and lastly one beautiful great granddaughter, Karis, and another on the way!!! Also a special thank you to Erin for comforting Art in his final days.
