PINETOPS – Arthur "Art" Joseph Eisler, Jr., age 92, passed away on Thursday, July 3, 2025. Born in Philadelphia County, PA on January 2, 1933, he was the son of the late Arthur Joseph Eisler, Sr. and Anna Lucy Glowka Eisler. He was also preceded in death by his wife of 34 years, Dorothy "Dot" Powell Eisler; brother, Joe Eisler.
A man of strong convictions and a devoted leader, Art was the proud patriarch of his family and a steadfast example of dedication and service. He honorably served his country in the United States Navy and later devoted 29 years to Burlington Industries, where he spent the latter part of his career as a respected plant manager. Known for his love of golf, fishing, and traveling, Art found joy in the simple pleasures of life and the beauty of God's creation. Never afraid to speak his mind, he was deeply opinionated, yet more often than not, he was right. His wisdom, strength, and unwavering presence left an indelible mark on all who knew and loved him.
Art is survived by his daughter, Theresa Eisler Whitman (Alan); his sons, Arthur Joseph "Joey" Eisler, III (Renee) and Ronnie Gammon (Lisa); his grandchildren, Dylan Patterson (Bethany), Hannah Gammon, Samantha Batts and Rylee Whitman; his great-grandchildren, Noah Gammon, Hayes Patterson and Tatum Patterson; his brother, David Eisler; his niece and nephew.
A Funeral Service to celebrate Art's life will be held on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, at 2:00 PM in the Chapel of Wheeler & Woodlief Funeral Home & Cremation Services with Rev. Paul Nicholas Cottrill, V.F. celebrating. The Rite of Committal will follow the funeral service at Rocky Mount Memorial Park.
A Rosary will be recited at 1:30 PM before the funeral service at the funeral home.
The family will receive friends and relatives on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM at Wheeler & Woodlief Funeral Home & Cremation Services, 1130 N. Winstead Avenue, Rocky Mount, NC 27804
The family would like thank Tabitha, dad's daily sitter, for the love, care, singing, holding his hand and even receiving the sneaky kisses from him. Also, to Gentiva Hospice nurses and staff for the loving and compassionate care they showed him and us through that time.
Flowers are accepted or memorials may be made in Art's memory to Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, 331 Hammond Street, Rocky Mount, NC 27804.
