Arthur Edward Florack

Arthur Edward Florack of Fredericksburg, VA; Yardley, PA; Fairfax, VA; Hudson, OH; Naperville, IL; and Rochester, NY passed away peacefully on May 26, 2024 at Mary Washington Hospital in Fredericksburg.

Arthur was a Life Master bridge player, a Master Gardener, a household handyman, and a well-respected, award-winning, 35-year employee of Eastman Kodak.

He is survived by his wife, the love of his life, Claire Aman Florack; they had been married 65 years. He was the beloved father of Michele, James (daughter-in-law Tracy Kimmel), Brian (daughter-in law Becky Florack), Daniel (Linda LePar) and Nanette Farinholt (son-in-law Michael Farinholt); beloved grandfather of ten: Joshua Florack, Erika Florack, Chrissy Florack, Ian Jenkins, Sarah Florack, Joy Farinholt, Georgia Jenkins, Hope Farinholt, Elliot Florack, and Katherine Florack. He is also survived by a younger brother and sister-in-law, Richard and Loretta Florack. He is pre-deceased by his parents, Arthur John and Ruth Silvers Florack, and his sisters Dorothea Florack and Marian MaGuire (brother-in-law Tom MaGuire).

Art tirelessly took care of his wife and all his children up until the very end. He was able to fix almost anything himself, find the best deal, or jump in to help anyone who needed it. He was an intelligent, kind, generous, and honorable man. He will be sorely missed.

A Celebration of Life will be held for Art at 12:00pm on Sunday, July 14, 2024 at Mullins & Thompson Funeral Service in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The family will receive friends from 11:00-12:00pm prior to the service.
