Arthur G. Sanchez

He was born March 9, 1931 in Kingsville, TX to Benito and Teresa Sanchez, where he attended Henrietta M. King High School and Texas A&I University. Art served honorably in the United States Air Force during the Korean Conflict as an Airman First Class. He worked as an engineer mechanic, leading maintenance squadrons for F-80 and F-84 aircraft. While stationed at Luke Air Force Base he met the love of his life, Helen, and made lifelong friends, Ralph Bravo and Lou Luna. Art then married Helen and began a long and successful career in the aerospace industry. He and Helen enjoyed 54 years of marriage.

Art is survived by his two daughters Jacque Chilton (husband, Mitch, son, Kyle (Rachael) and granddaughter, Raylee) and Cindy Streeper (husband, Matt and children, Cole (Kendall) and Macey). He is preceded in death by his wife, Helen, his parents, and his siblings. He will be lovingly remembered as a gentle, genuine, and devoted family man with a great sense of humor. His warm heart and quick wit will be greatly missed.
