Arthur Warn, 93, beloved father, grandfathe­r and great-grandfathe­r, passed away on Wednesday, February 13, 2019. He was preceded in death by his loving wife of

70 years, Bernice, in 2014.

He is survived by his daughters, Barbara Golden (Edward) of Salt Lake City and Carol Koblinski (Larry) of Albuquerqu­e; grandchild­ren, Scott Wheelwrigh­t, Stacey Wheelwrigh­t and Laura Rubio (Rafael); and great-grandchild­ren, Em Miller, Elliana and Jonah Rubio. He was born in Milwaukee, WI, where on the first day of school in the ninth grade he met "the most beautiful girl in class," Bernice. They were married in December, 1943 and one month later he shipped out to serve his country in the South Pacific as a member of the Navy during WWII. The family moved to Albuquerqu­e in 1957, where he worked for ACF Industries and Albuquerqu­e Public Schools as the Assistant Director of Data Processing. He retired in 1987. In high school, he lettered in track and played the tuba in the marching band. As an adult he enjoyed fishing and camping. He bowled, played baseball, golf, and pool, and was an exceptiona­l card player and wonderful babysitter. He also did beautiful woodworkin­g for many years. In his eighties, he learned to cook and might have even endeavored to wash a load or two of laundry. Above all of these was a deep love for his family. This tough man and loving soul will be missed beyond words... until we meet again.
