Arthur Hutchinson, 65, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, November 10, 2012. He was born in Hobbs, New Mexico, on February 25, 1947. A long time resident of Baytown, he was preceded in death by his parents, Tuffy and Maxine (Mishler) Hutchinson and brother-in-law, Mike McReynolds.

He is survived by his wife, Susan (McReynolds) Hutchinson, sister, Vicki Richards, sister-in-laws and brother-in-laws, Bethel and Ben Stevens, Barbara and Bill Pattison, daughter and son-in-law, Sally and Gerard Martir, son and daughter-in-law, Eddie and Brenda Hutchinson, and grandchildren, Siri, Zoe, and Ryan Martir, and Abby and Sophie Hutchinson, and nieces and nephews, Tony Richards, Jaime Grigsby, Ben, Jr. and Daren Stevens, Angel Kendall, Jennifer Glidewell, Scott and Kevin Pattison, Christopher, Patrick, and Joey McReynolds.

Art graduated from Lee High School in Baytown and the University of Houston. He worked at the Baytown Olefins Plant for twenty-five years and never missed a day. He was dedicated to his job, and he worked hard to provide a good life for his family - a good life that included many fun-filled trips and vacations.

Art never met a stranger. He had a kind heart and whether it was picking up litter on his daily walk, mowing a friend's yard, taking a friend to the store or appointment, or giving a friend a ride, he was always someone you could depend on. He visited the sick, comforted the grieving, and helped anyone who needed him.

Besides his love for family and friends, Art loved bowling! He had a lifelong passion for bowling that he enjoyed with his friends and family for over 50 years. He left enough ""300"" rings for each grandchild.
