Arthur Loomstein ’61

Body

We recently learned that Art died July 16, 2020.

Born in St. Louis, where he lived nearly all his life, Art came to Princeton from Ladue High School, but he withdrew in 1958 and graduated in 1961 from Washington University, followed by a law degree at that university.

Described as a driving force in greater St. Louis commercial real estate, he founded Centerco Properties in 1961. He was a thoroughbred racehorse owner, avid golfer, and steadfast St. Louis Cardinals fan.

At the time of his death, he was survived by his wife of 50 years, Kay; son David; daughters Debi and Debra; and three grandchildren.
