Arthur Francis Eschelbach, age 76, died peacefully Nov. 10 at Crystal Lake Care in Bayville. Born Sept. 11, 1943 in Red Bank, Art graduated from St. James grammar school in 1958 and Red Bank Catholic High School in 1962. He attended Newark College of Engineering.
As a youth he was involved with The Boy Scouts, was an amateur ham radio operator along with his dad, and enjoyed playing pool.
Art was preceded in death by his loving parents, Joseph and Ruth (McCormick) Eschelbach, his infant brother Michael, and his sister Rosemary Gleitz of Cape Coral, Florida.
He is survived by his sisters, Joann Plumaker (Jim) of Red Bank and Barbara Reutter (Bob) of Toms River; his brothers, Paul Joseph (Michael) of West Long Branch and Dr. Matthew Eschelbach (Jeanine) of Bend, Oregon.
As a family, we are comforted that he is reunited with our parents and siblings free of disability and fear and cradled in the arms of God.
Funeral services are private. We will gather in celebration of Arthur’s final journey.
Join us in prayer and acts of kindness as we remember our brother with love.
