| Published in The Arizona Republic from May 17 to May 21, 2021 - Phoenix, Arizona - On Wednesday, May 12, 2021, Arthur Gimson passed away at the age of 81. Arthur was born on July 13, 1939, to Henry and Edna Gimson and was raised in Watford, England. After being educated in England and France, Arthur came to the US in 1963 where he personified the saying on one of his favorite shirts, "British Born but American by Choice." Arthur had an almost 30-year career in the hospitality industry with Hilton Hotels, working both in his home country of England and throughout the United States. In 2003, Arthur finally settled down to a beautiful home in Carefree, Arizona. Arthur was an extremely loyal and patriotic American, serving on Carefree town council, numerous organizations and committees, and volunteering with the Foothills Caring Corps. He was an avid hockey fan and had a twenty year love/hate relationship with the Arizona Coyotes where he was a season ticket holder for many years. Arthur is survived by his wife, Patricia, his daughter Lara, stepsons Jeffrey, Marc, and Sean, his beloved Huskies Katya and Tanya, and his brothers Anthony and John. Memorial arrangements are yet to be determined. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Heart Association or the American Cancer Society |
