Arthur J. Bal Jr. gained his wings on Thursday, December 30th 2021.  Art left this world peacefully surrounded by his family. He was 78 years old.

Art was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and brother. He loved nothing more than taking care of his family, close friends, and his garden.  He was also a diehard Detroit Lions fan.

He was greeted in Heaven by his father, Arthur Sr. and mother, Arlene. He is survived by his wife, Charlene, his children: Tracy (Dan) McCoy, Kellie (Bob) Dobeus, Jeffrey (Katie) Bal, Niki (Darik) Bal, and Christopher (Cristina) Bal, his 11 grandchildren: Reagan, Riley, Kevin, Dani, Mack, Mason, Logan, Greyson, Decker, Dylan, and Hudson, and seven siblings: Beverly (George) Woons, Robert (Nancy) Bal, James (Honey) Bal, Mary (Edward) Cody, Randy (Mary) Bal, David Bal, and Stanley (Cynthia) Gymrek.

Per Art's wishes, there will be no funeral or memorial service.  Instead, he asks that friends and loved ones cherish each other and live every day to the fullest. "Quit burning daylight."
