His descendants were his pride and joy, including; seven grandchildren as well as five great grandchildren…and counting. Arthur was a graduate of Mount St. Mary’s College, served proudly and was honorably discharged from the United States Army. He began his career as a public servant with the Federal Reserve System while raising a family and completing his Law degree from the University of Maryland. He was a longstanding parishioner of St. Mary’s Catholic Church. In addition to his love for family and friends, Art Myers was incredibly proud of his service to his country and devotion to public service as a senior executive with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. Those who knew him well, knew Art as “the Mayor”. He always took the time to get to know his neighbors and their dogs. He loved people and took a genuine interest in their lives.
