Douglass and his wife Patricia of Reading. Arthur is also survived by 6 grandchildren, Christina, Gregory, Garrett, Michael, Scott, and Kyle, by 3 great grandchildren, Adeline, Brooks, and Genevieve, and by many nieces and nephews.

A Lexington High School graduate, class of 1953, after service in the U.S. Army, Arthur attended Denison University in Ohio and graduated in 1957, where he was president of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. After graduating college, Arthur planned on attending law school, but with the sudden death of his father he enrolled in mortuary college and carried on the family's rich tradition in funeral service. Douglass Funeral Home was at that time located in Lexington center. In 1969 Arthur built and opened with his brother John the new funeral home facility on Worthen Rd. and served the Lexington Community alongside his wife Jewel. Together they were a great team and enjoyed real estate adventures. Following the loss of his son Scott, Arthur became a Believer in Jesus Christ, and was baptized at Grace Chapel in Lexington. He always had a great love of America, and a passion for its history and politics. He was an avid golfer, being a member of the Lexington Golf Club, the Winchester Country Club, Mingo Springs Golf Club in Rangeley Maine (where he loved vacationing with his family at his camp on Rangeley Lake), Grand Harbor Golf Club in Vero Beach, FL, and Bald Peak Golf Club in Moultonborough, NH. He was a Lexington Rotarian and a member of the Simon W. Robinson Masonic Lodge. He appreciated Boston as being one of the great sports towns in the country. Due to the pandemic,
