Arthur Wilms passed away peacefully on September 23, 2025. He was born October 14, 1941, to the late Henry and Mary Wilms.

He was preceded in death by his adored wife, Judy. Arthur worked as a mechanical engineer for Ford Motor Company for many years before his retirement. He enjoyed many different pursuits and would go all in on his current hobby. He loved sailing and boating, golfing, motorcycle riding and biking among others. He even had a talent for singing and sang in a barber shop quartet. In his later years, his passion as a train enthusiast was reignited. Arthur enjoyed his family and especially spending time with his wife prior to her passing. He also retained a wealth of information and enjoyed speaking to others.
