Arthur P. Jayne, of DeRuyter, passed away July 15, 2021, one day short of his 75th birthday. Art was predeceased by his father Arthur L. Jayne, mother Doris A. Seymour and wife Elaine. He is survived by daughters Laura Jayne & Lisa Jayne of DeRuyter, sisters Grace Meddaugh of Cortland and Susan Middleton of Baldwinsville and brothers Edward Seymour of Austin, TX, and Henry Seymour of Cortland and several stepbrothers and sisters.
Art was a hard worker, strong provider and a problem solver. A loving and supportive father, brother and friend, always ready and willing to help out in any way he could. A navy veteran of the Vietnam era, he remained humble about his military service. Art had a life-long love of all things mechanical, especially antique cars. A talented and well-respected craftsman, his work is on display at the Northeast Classic Car Museum in Norwich, N.Y.
A Celebration of Art’s life will be held at The Farm, 3191 East Road, Cazenovia, Sunday, July 17, at 1 p.m. with a brief ceremony at 2 p.m.
