WELLS - On Thursday, February 25, 2021, Arthur Lawrence Eves passed gently with family in his home at the age of 97. Art was born in Milton, PA and called York, Maine home for over the past 20 years. He volunteered for the Army in 1940 during WWII, serving for 3 years, and then continued his service to retire in 1974 as Chaplain from the United States Air Force.
He was predeceased by his parents (Daniel & Geraldine), sister (Marjorie) and one grandchild (Rowan age 4).
He is survived by his wife of 47 years Jo Ann Eves, his 7 children (Arthur & Myra Aaronson, Alan & Karyn Niedzwiecki, Jim & Mary Nikolai-Eves, Elizabeth & Fabio Falorni, David, Daniel & Chandra, Mark & Laura) and 9 grandchildren (Ariel, Amelia, Tyler, Mason, Elaina, Lucas, Naomi, & Callan).
Art led a life of service to his country, his wife and family. He was a poet and artist who inspired many on his life’s long journey. He lived fully and will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to be touched throughout his life.
A private ceremony will take place with immediate family. In lieu of flowers please plant a tree, donate some time helping others, write a poem, look at a rock, or just spend some time in nature with the ones you love.
Our father was a gentle soul who showed his strength through compassion and love. He was many things to many different people and will be missed by all.
