Arthur J. “Arty” Foxwell, Jr.
December 14, 1949 - September 22, 2019
Arthur J. “Arty” Foxwell, Jr., snazzy dresser, collector of all things not needed, Packers fan, Marie Callenders connoisseur and puzzle master, passed away on Sunday afternoon, September 22, 2019, surrounded by family.
Before leaving the building, Arty was a self-employed cable contractor for over 40 years. His glory days consisted of dancing on the Jerry Blavat show, countless concerts (almost made it to Woodstock), cruising in his convertible Austin Healey (yes, he wore a scarf) and water skiing off his dad’s boat.
But what Arty enjoyed most was spending time with his family and close friends including camping trips, jet skiing, playing hot potato with the grand kids and playing poker with the boys.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Arthur and Doris Foxwell. Arty is survived by his wife, Lainie; brother, Michael Foxwell (Norma); his children, Jason, Jamie (Eva) and Katie (Ryan); his grandchildren, Regina, Isabella, Lena, Lilliana, Coleton and Juliana; his great grandchildren, Anthony, Alaina and Viviana; and many cousins, nieces, nephews and close friends.
A visitation for family and friends will be held from 9 am until 11 am on Friday, September 27, 2019, at Spicer-Mullikin Funeral Home, 1000 North DuPont Parkway, New Castle, DE, where a funeral service will begin at 11 am. Interment will follow in Gracelawn Memorial Park, 2220 North DuPont Parkway, New Castle, DE.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Arty’s memory to the Helen Graham Cancer Center, PO Box 1668, Wilmington, DE 19899.

The obituary is Arty to a “t”. He was a wonderful neighbor, and a two-time savior of the Jacobs family from wild critters – a snake and raccoon babies! He always had a smile and a laugh that made you feel good inside. He will be sorely missed. Love to Lainie and the family.
Joan and Rob Gennarini
Lainie, Rob and I are so sorry about Arty’s passing. We are just seeing the Obit today in Feb 2020. Lots and Lots of love to you and your family. The kitties are sending their love too. As you know, we are in Pittsburgh now… but we will have you in our thoughts and prayers. Arty was a beautiful soul and spirit and may he continue to shine down on your family with protective energy and love from the Heaven’s Above.
