Arthur (Art) Edward Pearson, age 89 died peacefully in the early morning hours of Wednesday January 12th at Lancaster General Hospital surrounded by family.  Born in Englewood, New Jersey on July 27, 1932 to the late Edward F. Pearson and Alice V. Johnson Pearson.  He was married to his wife Gayle for 57 years.  Art was a long-time resident of Randolph, NJ before spending his last 2 years in Lancaster, PA. 

A Korean War veteran, Art served honorably in the Navy.  He was a sailor aboard the USS Lake Champlain and was subsequently an Aviation Electronics Technician aboard a P5-M sea plane attached to the VP45 squadron in Panama.  A 1958 graduate from Wooster College in Ohio he went on to have a lengthy career in business and was the President of his own management consulting company.  Art was an avid metal detector and enjoyed woodcarving, a craft he learned from his father.  He was particularly proud of his Swedish heritage and was a dedicated family historian.

He is survived by his wife, Gayle Pearson, son Ian Pearson, daughter Kari Timothy, two grandsons Quinn and Kieran, brother Donald Pearson, brother Edward Pearson and sister Lois Griffith. 

A memorial service will be held at Indiantown Gap National Cemetery on April 22, 2022 at 1pm.  In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made in honor of Art to the National Forest Foundation.

    I knew Art as a member of East Coast Research and Discovery Club. Art stepped down as out club treasurer when I first joined the club. He was a soft spoken, kind man and everyone in our metal detecting club regarded him very highly. May he Rest In Peace and condolences to his family.

    As a HS Administrator in Newark, NJ I met Art and we became friends. It was always a pleasure to spend time with Art either at school or outside of school. Art was kind enough to invite me to a metal detector club meeting. We spoke several time after he moved to Lancaster. He will be missed. He was a true gentleman.

    I knew Mr. Pearson as our neighbor who lived across the street from us while I was in high school. I was good friends with his daughter Kari, so I spent a good amount of time over at their home. Art was incredibly kind, humble and friendly, and was always inviting and happy to have us around. I was very sad to hear the news of his passing, and I wanted to extend my sincerest condolences to his family. I consider myself fortunate to have had Mr. Pearson as our neighbor, and I will always have fond memories of him and hanging out at his house with the rest of our neighborhood friends from Randolph.
