Kobylecky, Arthur J. Korean Conflict Army Veteran. Beloved husband of over 50 years to Betty (nee Postany); devoted and loving father of Kurt (Angela) Kobylecky; adoring Grandpa of Kaden, Ella and Brecken; kind uncle and great-uncle; fond cousin and friend to many; preceded in death by his dear parents, five brothers and two sisters.
Selfless and kind, Art always thought of and put everyone else first in front of himself. He would run through a wall for others and always had a contagious smile that lit up a room. Arthur was a true family man. Proudly, he and Betty would attend Kurt's high school and college baseball and football games. They were eager to be at each and every event they could manage. During his last days, he always was asking about his grandkids and neighbors and was often concerned about my mom to make sure she "locked the doors". On the quiet side, his heart and actions always spoke volumes.
Art, known for savoring a "shot of the Good Doctor", truly enjoyed fishing, watching sports and visiting the casino. Most of all he adored his grandkids. A proud grandpa, he loved supporting his grandchildren's sports and activities. He, with Betty, would never turn down an opportunity to watch and visit their cherished grandkids.

Aunt Betty, Kurt, Angela, Kaden, Ella, and Brecken, Uncle Art loved you with all his heart and soul. What a great, happy and fun loving man. His smile brought happiness to those fortunate enough to be a part of his life. He opened his heart and home to my family which I will be forever grateful. Be assured family and friends, he is not 'resting' in peace. Uncle Art is enjoying peace in heaven, surrounded by loved ones who went before him, a hootin' and a hollerin', dancing and singing and playing the accordion!

I am filled with so many happy memories of being with Art. I still remember how he would twirl me around in the air when I was a little boy over 60 years ago. I so looked forward to seeing him on our Sunday visits. He was a good man, always so positive and fun to be with. I will miss him very much. Our family is so sorry for your loss.
Love - Dave, Mary Ellyn and Marie Vicksta
