Arthur Jay Benson, “Art or Artie to most” 79, died May 11, 2019 at his home in Burnsville NC.
Art was born on September 3, 1939 in the Bronx, NY to the late Irving and Mildred Benowitz (nee Ostrove). He was a Captain in the United States Air Force and was stationed all over the world. Art was a graduate of Martin Van Buren High School, where he penned the school’s Alma Mater. He then attended Adelphi University where he earned his bachelor’s degree. He became business partners with his father in 1966 and was the President and CEO of SureAir, Ltd. in Stamford, CT, where he pioneered the industry of National Heating and Air Conditioning Service Management.
We would like to acknowledge Art and his contributions to the facilities management industry. Without pioneers like Art, Connex would not be where it is today.
