Arthur "Art" Jay Bernsdorf, 62, passed away on November 4, 2025. He was born on December 23, 1962, in Berea, Ohio, to the late Roger and Lillian Bernsdorf. Art was the devoted husband of Stacy A.

He was a cherished brother to Barbara (Mike) Leiden, Roger Jr., and Michael (deceased), sister-in-law, Holly, and a treasured grandfather to Bennett, Daisy, and Margaux.
