Father Arthur Koth

Fr. Koth was one of the finest priests -- and one of the most loving persons -- to have graced our lives. He is home with the Savior he helped us know better.

As a civilian chaplain, Father Koth ministered to so many of our airmen. He died on Veteran's Day, and we salute him for his ministry and service to us at the 115th Fighter Wing in Madison. On behalf of the entire Wisconsin Air National Guard Chaplain Corps - thank you Father Koth - may you rest in peace. Chaplain, Captain John A. O'Brien

I’m a member of the 115 Fighter Wing at Truax Field. We called Father Koth, Father Art. Father Art supported the Catholic Worship Services here at Truax Field after retiring from ministering at his own church. Father Art ministered to us every month until his health keep him from making the visits. He loved to be with us and we loved having him. I will always remember the sparkle in his eye and his warm and cheerful smile. Father Art was always thanking us for letting him come to see us. The truth be told, he brought so much to our unit and the people he made friends with. I am very thankful to God for sending Father Art to us. My condolences to family and friends.

Fr. Art is an example of a man who was truly dedicated to his calling. He lived his beliefs with a love of and dedication to his work and that humbles me. He was full of love (and hugs) for each and every soul he ministered to. Welcome home Fr. Art. Give my love to Dad and Andy; they, and countless others, have been waiting for you. We will miss you here.

Audrey, Barb, and family, I am so very very sorry for your loss. I know how much he was admired by so many - as Barb spoke of him often. May all the memories keep you through these rough days ahead. Loreen
