Arthur Carmine Warrington

Arthur Carmine Warrington departed this life surrounded by his loving family on Dec. 28, 2006. This wonderful man, known to many as “Sty,” was 86. Born on Nov. 1, 1920 in Mamaroneck, NY, “Artie” was the middle son of the late Rose Sansone and Walter Warrington. Growing up as a member of Holy Trinity Catholic Church, he graduated from Mamaroneck High School in 1938. He then attended New York Tech Trade School and worked as a shipyard welder until joining the United States Navy in 1941. Artie proudly served his country in World War II as a First Class motor mechanic upon the USS Marblehead, completing multiple tours in the European Theatre. He served in France, Italy, England, Ireland, Brazil, Corsica, Naples, Jamaica, South America, the Caribbean and Mediterranean Sea. Following his honorable discharge in 1945, Artie, a man of all trades, was employed by Gunn Brothers Oil Co. before working full time in the infamous family business, “Walter’s Hot Dog Stand” in Mamaroneck, for almost 30 years. Then, in 1975, Artie moved to Whaleyville, MD, trading life in New York for life on a 300 acre farm, before moving to Easton in 2002. Artie was a proud member of the Elks for over 63 years. He served as New York State Chairman of the Veterans Committee for many years and was honored as “Elk of the Year.” Artie was also a long term member of the VFW and American Legion. In addition to his memberships, Artie enjoyed many hobbies such as golf, hunting, horseracing, and horseshoes, but his passion was spending time with family and friends. In his own words, he “loved family and good friends, had many good times, enjoyed parties and holidays with my family.” Artie is survived by his loving wife Anne Warrington, whom he married August 30, 1947; a daughter Rosy Ball and her husband, Glenn Ball, of Easton; two grandchildren, Kristy Ball, and Dina Myers and her husband, Matt Myers, all of Easton; two brothers, Gene and Joe Warrington of Mamaroneck, NY; his many nieces, nephews, and extended family. He will miss them all, and they will cherish him always. Artie was preceded in death by his son, Walter Warrington, who passed away on Aug. 15, 1999. Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, January 2, 2007 at 2:00 PM at Fellows, Helfenbein and Newnam Funeral Home, P.A., Easton, MD where friends may call one hour prior to the service. Burial will be at Spring Hill Cemetery, Easton, MD. Memorial donations may be made to Talbot Hospice Foundation, 586 Cynwood Drive, Easton, MD 21601.
