Arthur "Art" Joseph Eisler Jr.

CHANGE IN VENUE TO WHEELER & WOODLIEF AT SAME DAY AND TIME!!!

PINETOPS – Arthur “Art” Joseph Eisler, Jr., age 92, passed away on Thursday, July 3, 2025.  Born in Philadelphia County, PA on January 2, 1933, he was the son of the late Arthur Joseph Eisler, Sr. and Anna Lucy Glowka Eisler.  He was also preceded in death by his wife of 34 years, Dorothy “Dot” Powell Eisler; brother, Joe Eisler.

A man of strong convictions and a devoted leader, Art was the proud patriarch of his family and a steadfast example of dedication and service. He honorably served his country in the United States Navy and later devoted 29 years to Burlington Industries, where he spent the latter part of his career as a respected plant manager. Known for his love of golf, fishing, and traveling, Art found joy in the simple pleasures of life and the beauty of God’s creation. Never afraid to speak his mind, he was deeply opinionated, yet more often than not, he was right. His wisdom, strength, and unwavering presence left an indelible mark on all who knew and loved him.

Art is survived by his daughter, Theresa Eisler Whitman (Alan); his sons, Arthur Joseph “Joey” Eisler, III (Renee) and Ronnie Gammon (Lisa); his grandchildren, Dylan Patterson (Bethany), Hannah Gammon, Samantha Batts and Rylee Whitman; his great-grandchildren, Noah Gammon, Hayes Patterson and Tatum Patterson; his brother, David Eisler; his niece and nephew.

Paul Nicholas Cottrill, V.F. celebrating.  The Rite of Committal will follow the funeral service at Rocky Mount Memorial Park.
