Arthur M. Tuers' Obituary
Arthur M. Tuers, 87, of Eastport, passed away Friday January 12 after a short battle with
pancreatic cancer. Arthur was born in Eastport to Lawrence and Viola, where he grew up with
brothers Lawrence (Jumbo), Billy, Harry, and sister Edith. Harry currently resides in Ohio. He
was happily married to his wife of 56 years, Olga Louise. He is survived by his daughter Nancy
Schmidt, grandson Bill Crandall, daughter in law Sharon, and great grandsons Quinn and
Owen.
Arthur joined the navy after high school where he served in the North Atlantic aboard the
‘Fesseden’.Employed in the HVAC industry, Arthur spoke fondly of the decades he volunteered
at the Eastport Fire Department. More recently, he volunteered his time at the Annapolis
Maritime Museum providing a priceless living history of the area. Arthur was a passionate
advocate of the bay; he crabbed, fished and hunted on her shores his entire life.
He was kind and generous, tough when he had to be, and he will be sorely missed.
There will be graveside service February 3, at 2 o’clock, at Hillcrest Cemetery on 1911 Forest
Drive, 21401, with a celebration of life to follow at the Annapolis Maritime Museum, 723 2nd St,
Annapolis, 21403 at 3 o’clock. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Maritime
Museum.
