For 40 years, he and Marge owned and operated the “Blue Ridge Tavern” in North Jackson. Art had a saying to his customers, “You are a stranger here but once!”
After the war, Art owned his own gas station on South Avenue in Youngstown. He drove truck for over 40 years for different companies and then himself, teaching his sons “the way of the road” and helping them to become independent truck drivers themselves. Up until just a few years ago, he delivered trailers for Tralex Trailer in Canfield.

He loved the countryside and making new friends along the way. He enjoyed camping, traveling, loved the outdoors and country music. He taught himself to play the harmonica and whistled and yodeled like a real professional. He always enjoyed a good joke and was known as a free spirit. He spent holidays serving dinners at the Rescue Mission. Art always had a smile on his face and found the “good” in people.

He will be lovingly missed by his companion Donna Hunt; sons, Artie Figinsky of Lordstown, Del and Deborah Figinsky of South Carolina and Dean and Sandi Figinsky of Lake Milton; daughters, Gay Figinsky of Newton Falls and Dee and Bob Barton of Idaho; 12 grandchildren; 23 great-grandchildren; one great-great grandchild and another due in December; all of whom will cherish his memories.

He was preceded in death by his parents, siblings and his wife, Margaret, a daughter Peggy Keckler and a grandson Billy Figinsky.

A Memorial Service will be held at the American Legion, Post 737 in Lake Milton on Saturday, October 22, 2016 at 10:30 a.m.

Memorials may be made in Art’s honor to the Veteran’s Association or to the American Cancer Society.
